The cable dated 2009 shows how US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was checking out the leanings of Pranab Mukherjee as Finance Minister.
"What are Mukherjee's primary economic concerns and views on Manmohan Singh's reforms? Why was Mukherjee chosen for the finance portfolio over Montek Singh Ahluwalia? How does Mukherjee get along with Montek? To which industrial or business groups is [Pranab] Mukherjee beholden?" The cable states these were among the questions Hillary specifically asked then envoy David Mulford in September 2009, a few months after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh settled in for a second term.
