Congress on Friday said Subramanian Swamy wants to become the Finance Minister and termed his diatribe against Arun Jaitley as an “open war”.

It is a comedy theatre. It is having a tremendous impact when the Brexit crises is on.

Chavan noted that at such a time, the need is of a united leadership of the External Affairs Ministry and of the Finance Ministry as the External Affairs Minister in case of India’s bid to enter the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

On Brexit, Chavan said it will have an “impact” on India because it is the largest investor in Britain. He said that “our interests will have to be protected if Indian companies have to do well.”

He expected the government to come out with some kind of plan of action about the outcome of the EU vote soon.
