Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held the Modi government responsible for the resignation of Urjit Patel, former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor, saying efforts to clean the banking system in the country cost him his job. Gandhi also said the RBI governor resigned in just over two years as Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn't want him to go after wilful defaulters. "Efforts to clean the banking system cost him his job. Why? PM didn't want him to go after wilful defaulters," Gandhi tweeted. Gandhi was referring to Patel's recently launched book, 'Overdraft: Saving The Indian Saver,' in which he says the RBI's decision to dilute the bankruptcy law caused rift between the central bank and the Modi government.
