Reserve Bank employees and officers have expressed solidarity with Governor Raghuram Rajan 'who has recently come under fire from a section of the political class.' It is very unfortunate that political agenda is hijacking the economic agenda of the country, according to leaders of the United Forum of RBI Officers and Employees. This is not in the best interests of the economy, Samir Ghosh, convener of the Forum, said.
A delegation of the forum met with Rajan and conveyed to him its support in his efforts aimed at cleansing the country's banking system. Apart from Ghosh, the delegation included forum leaders Suryakant Mahadik, Pramod Dhokale, RN Vatsa and Ajit Subhedar.
