  • Congress on Sunday accused the RSS and some BJP ministers of lobbying against RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan. The party said Rajan’s decision not to seek a second term was the “most unpleasant thing” for the country.

  • Senior Congress leaders like Veerappa Moily and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram were disappointed with Rajan’s decision. Moily accused various BJP spokespersons and leaders, specifically Subramaniam Swamy along with the Nagpur RSS camp of lobbying against the RBI Governor.

  • In a statement on Saturday, Rajan said he will be returning to academia after his term ends in September, squashing speculation about whether the NDA government will appoint him for another term.
