Prime Minister’s new year resolution was to lie to the country. Urijit Patel’s sudden resignation was a shock for everyone, even those sitting in the Cabinet. Arun Jaitley, full-time blogger and part-time FM was quoted saying: “The government did not have any expectation of resignation from him”
Furthermore, A.N. Jha, finance secretary at the finance ministry made the following statement: “The finance ministry had no earlier information about the resignation of RBI governor today. We came to know about it only half-an-hour after the resignation was made”
