Keep Raghuram Rajan as RBI Governor grows

The importance of the position of the Reserve Bank of India Governor is evident from the growing clamour for keeping Dr Raghuram Rajan in the post by netizens. While the BJP-led government had given enough hints to throw out Dr Rajan from the position, the opposite view is gaining ground with the social media trying to keep him in the position. An online site, Changedat#org appeared this afternoon, and by 4 pm some 50,000 people had signed, wanting Dr Rajan to continue in the position. Rajesh Palaria, who opened the site, says Dr Rajan's policies are balanced. If India has to progress, then Rajan's stay is inevitable. As for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, his recent budget showed what he was capable of. Leaving Vijay Mallyas to go scot-free, he targeted the Provident Fund savings of the hard working classes. The less said of Dr Subramaniam Swamy the better. While he wants Dr Rajan to go, Dr Swamy is not doing enough to expose the AgustaWestland kickbacks except for some cheap senstationalism. Dr Swamy should bring them to book. Only then the BJP would have some credibility as clean government. Otherwise it is crony capitalism, which would do no good to the country.
