No one is indispensable including the NDA Government and its veteran MPS. But a performer and a non performer needs to be identified and discriminated. Just because Dr Rajan was appointed by the UPA Government and he was brought in by Mr Chidambaram then Finance Minister who happens to be the enemy of the present Government , Rajan should leave his post does not stand reason and sound decent and it only smacks of intolerance of a person who is a friend of the enemy. Dr Rajan is a professional and an expertise having excelled in his field of economics and Finance with international recognition and his continuance as Chief of the Central bank of the Country carries image and only adds weight for the economy in the international markets . The Government in power cannot afford to be so narrow minded and encourage personal vendetta and prejudices against a person who has an outstanding record par excellence and has been doing a commendable job with wonderful results to be very proud of as a growing economy with all sorts of complexities. The loss is substantial and it may take some time to make up provided an equally competent person comes and takes on the challenges. All said, a highly talented professional cannot take political side when he performs his responsibilities occupying a sensitive post.
