In further embarrassment for the government, BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking the "immediate termination" of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan, alleging he was "mentally not fully Indian" and has "wilfully" wrecked the economy.
"The reason why I recommend this is that I am shocked by the wilful and apparently deliberate attempt by Dr Rajan to wreck the Indian economy," he wrote adding his concept of raising interest rates to contain inflation was "disastrous," Swamy wrote.
"These actions of Dr Rajan lead me to believe that he is acting more as a disrupter of the Indian economy than the person who wants the Indian economy to improve. Moreover he is in this country on a Green Card provided by the US government and therefore mentally not fully Indian. Otherwise why would he renew his Green Card as RBI Governor by making the mandatory annual visit to the US to keep the Green Card current?" he wrote.
