Options:

They have reversed all the reforms.

They have ignored the reforms completely.

They have criticized the reforms openly.

They have continued to follow and implement these reforms.

Correct Answer:

They have continued to follow and implement these reforms.

Explanation:

The third significant development in the 1990s encompassed a distinct shift in economic policy pursued by different governments. This marked the inception of the structural adjustment programme, also referred to as the new economic reforms. Initiated by Rajiv Gandhi, the impact of these alterations became particularly evident in 1991 and led to a profound redirection from the economic course India had followed post-independence. While these policies faced substantial critique from diverse movements and organizations, subsequent governments during this period have persisted in their implementation.
