Following up on his barb last week that Rajan should be sent back to Chicago, Swamy has written a letter to the Prime Minister, demanding Rajan’s removal as RBI governor. The newly nominated MP urged Modi “to terminate the appointment of Dr Raghuram Rajan in the national interest.” “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 said.
“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. Rajan, Swamy said, was “acting more as a disrupter of the Indian economy than the person who wants the Indian economy to improve.”
