New Delhi,December 12: The new governor of RBI will play to the tunes of the Centre, the Congress party has alleged.
Attacking the government for appointing Shaktikanta Das as RBI Governor, the Congress on Wednesday said it chose a bureaucrat who will defend demonetization.
Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the newly appointed governor was the second person to be appointed at a key post for defending the 2016 demonetisation move by the centre.
On the appointment, the former finance minister said, the Modi government cares little for the masses. Chidambaram said in a tweet that it will diminish the stature of RBI.
Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal also took a dig at the government on the appointment saying the new incumbent would play to the tunes of the government.
