Sack Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian: Swamy
BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy on Wednesday targeted Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian and asked the government to “sack” him.
 
In a series of tweets, Swamy wrote, "Who said to US Cong on 13/3/13 the US should act against India to defend US Pharmaceuticals interests? Arvind Subramanian MoF (Ministry of Finance)!! Sack him!"
 
Subramanian had taken charge in October 2014 succeeding Raghuram Rajan.
 
In another tweet, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said, "Guess who encouraged Congress to become rigid on GST clauses? Jaitely's economic adviser Arvind Subramanian of Washington DC."
 
The Rajya Sabha MP also wondered why the core economic sectors could not perform in the two years rule of the Narendra Modi government and said: "Now PTs (Patriotic Tweeples) can understand why our core economic sectors could not perform last two years. Trojan horses galore in MoF/ Finance Institutions."
 
"Was AS (Arvind Subramanian) deposing before US Congress Committee against India as a US citizen or Indian? Does any PT know?"
 
Swamy had also criticised Rajan, accusing the RBI Governor of derailing the Indian economy by keeping the lending rates high.
 
Rajan has decided to return to academics at the end of his term in September.

By working FOR the nation; not against people. Swamy has little interest in the country. Only in self publicity. His own party, whichever it may be at that particular moment gives him a wide berth. When was the last time we saw something concrete from him? All he does is give speeches, the more provocative, the better. Just to keep in the public eye.

Exposing those who have been working against Nation Interest is Nuisance value? How?

If there are enough sackings, they might be able to squeeze in Swamiji somewhere. At least, to get rid of his nuisance value. But must admit one thing. S S has graduated from picking on women and their kids, to men; no matter if the guys give a damn. Motormouth Swamiji, go back to teaching, please. Today's students can differentiate very well. You will cause no harm.

Asked myself, 'Why not sack our Swamiji'? But then how does one sack a nobody?

These are economics and it is not better to comment.
