Brightest flee the sinking ship: Rahul Gandhi on Chief Economic Adviser's exit
Rahul Gandhi
Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian's resignation was announced Wednesday. 'The brightest flee the sinking ship, as the 'invisible hand' of the RSS steers it onto the rocks,' Rahul said
"The brightest flee the sinking ship," Rahul Gandhi said Wednesday about the resignation of Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian.
Subramanian's resignation was announced yesterday by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Facebook. Jaitley said Subramanian had resigned due to "pressing family commitments".
"It has been the best job I ever had or will ever have. It was enriching & exciting. I will go back with the happiest best memories of this tenure. I will always be committed to serving the country in future," Subramanian said after his resignation was announced.
"The brightest flee the sinking ship, as the “invisible hand” of the RSS steers it onto the rocks," Rahul wrote on Twitter on Wednesday evening.
He made a number of other insinuations, including wondering whether Jaitley might no longer be finance minister. (Jaitley had recently been unwell, during which time Piyush Goyal had looked after the finance ministry.)
Gandhi also said the "BJP Treasurer has the keys to the Indian Economy."
