The PM wanted to save the defaulters, that's why Urjit Patel's job is gone: Rahul's allegation

New delhi date. 28 July 2020, Tuesday

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is constantly attacking the central government. On Tuesday, he once again targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a tweet. Based on a statement by former Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel, Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Modi of trying to save willful defaulters.

In fact, a recent book by Urjit Patel mentions that the Modi government has been lenient with non-payers and has also directed the RBI to take it lightly. Rahul Gandhi has now started besieging the central government on this issue. Rahul Gandhi wrote that Urjit Patel was trying to clean up the banking system but lost his job because of it. The reason is that Prime Minister Modi did not want to take any action against the defaulters.

Urjit Patel resigned as the Reserve Bank's governor in 2018 after a dispute with the central government. There was a huge controversy over his resignation and even then Rahul Gandhi had surrounded the central government on the issue of his resignation. The book claims that the government had asked the government to withdraw the circular issued by the Reserve Bank for defaulters.

It may be mentioned that during the tenure of Modi government, Urjit Patel, Raghuram Rajan, etc., have come up against the resentment of the governors of the Reserve Bank, whether it is the ban on banknotes, GST or other economic policies.

Rahul Gandhi is constantly attacking the central government over the economy and jobs. A few days ago, he said that the government should heed my warning on the issue of economy in view of the way in which my statement on the Koro crisis is coming true.
