Think twice before attacking others: Chetan Bhagat hits back at AAP

June 19, 2016 11:43

Hitting back at the Aam Aadmi Party for 'suggesting' the Centre appoint him as the next RBI governor, author Chetan Bhagan on Sunday asserted that he knows more about economies and monetary policies than the party, adding that they should behave rather than indulging in 'mud-slinging'.

"Just on this news. Neither am I interested, nor am in the running for the RBI guv job. Nor do I have a view on National Institute of Fashion Technology. I would request AAP to behave in a decent manner and not do mud-slinging PR like the news in the last tweet," Bhagat said in a series of tweets.

However, he added that if he had been appointed as the RBI chief, he would be able to do a better job than many others. "Dear AAP, as you mock me, assure you had I ever done (am not) the RBI governor job, would be able to do it better than many others. AAP should tell its low-IQ spokespersons to think twice before attacking others, though I understand thinking isn't their strong point," he further tweeted.

Stressing that even though he loves his job of writing much more than anything, Bhagat asserted that he knew economies and monetary policies better than anyone in AAP ever will.

Bhagat's fiery reaction comes in the wake of the AAP attacking the Centre on Saturday for appointing former cricketer Chetan Chauhan as the chairperson of the National Institute of Fashion Technology.

Mocking the decision to appoint Chauhan, the AAP gave BJP "suggestions" for further appointments.

"This is absurd. He (Chauhan) does not know 'F' about fashion and he is the same person who defended Jaitley. And his appointment has the blessings of Amit Shah and Modi. The AAP would like to suggest that the BJP appoint Chetan Bhagat as RBI governor, Anupam Kher as chief of ISRO and Eknath Khadse as the chief of NIA," party spokesperson Raghav Chadha said in a press briefing.
