    Swamy writes to PM seeking termination of Rajan
  • BJP MP Subramanian Swamy wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking immediate dismissal of RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan.

  • Raghuram Rajan has been credited by many to have kept Indian economy in safe hands at a time when the global growth was slowing.

    He took over as RBI governor at a time when India's inflation was above 10%.

    Not only did he hike rates to tame inflationary expectations, Rajan also took a number of steps to stop the rapid depreciation of rupee.
