Raghuram Rajan Update: Raghuram Rajan, former governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has come under attack on social media for one of his statements. Rajan made a statement about India becoming a superpower, for which his critics are criticizing him. Raghuram Rajan said in a statement that he does not mind the fact that India is a superpower. He said that for him these things are more important that whether the country is able to live up to the criteria that the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi wanted, in which the life of every citizen of the country should be happy.
In a program, Raghurajan was asked the question whether the opposition along with the ruling party listens very carefully to what you say. So can we see you as the Finance Minister or the Prime Minister of the country in the next 10 years? Answering this question, Raghuram Rajan said that there are many people who want me not to talk about India. I speak because today we are standing at a crossroad. He said that, I do not mind being called the superpower of India, it is not an issue for me. The issue is whether the Father of the Nation wanted that every Indian should be happy and this is what we should focus on. On this statement of Rajan in social media, people are criticizing him along with expressing their disagreement.
Raghuram Rajan: “I don’t care about India being a superpower, to me that’s not the point. It’s about what the father of the nation wanted.”

In the recent past, Raghuram Rajan has been the target of Union ministers, spokespersons of the ruling party at the Centre. Recently, in a research paper, Rajan had expressed his concern about the central government’s production-linked incentive scheme in view of increasing mobile phone exports from India. He said that the PLI scheme only emphasizes on assembling of mobile phones and not on manufacturing. Rajan said that more imports are being done than exports. He said that mobile phones are not being manufactured in India even in small numbers.
Union Information Technology Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar wrote on Linkedin that the things written in the research paper are based on false facts. Because whatever electronic product is being imported, it is being done only for the production of mobiles. He said that Rajan has absolutely no understanding of smartphone manufacturing with electronics manufacturing.
