Govt lauds Patel's service; Congress slams Modi govt
The Government acknowledges with deep sense of appreciation the services rendered by Dr. Urjit Patel to this country both in his capacity as the Governor and the Deputy Governor of The RBI. It was a pleasure for me to deal with him and benefit from his scholarship. (1/2)

Dr Urjit Patel is an economist of a very high calibre with a deep and insightful understanding of macro-economic issues. He steered the banking system from chaos to order and ensured discipline. Under his leadership, the RBI brought financial stability.

Surprised at the news that RBI governor has resigned. The previous meeting was held in such cordial atmosphere that it comes as a shock. All directors said media had created a wrong perception while inside it was totally different. That makes it even more surprising

Another one bites the dust.

This is the result of our 'chowkidar's' assault on democratic institutions - RBI Governor, Urjit Patel steps down. https://t.co/SFEih1WYZ9
Saddened, not surprised, by Dr Urjit Patel's resignation. No self respecting scholar or academic can work in this government.

Subramanian Swamy on Urjit Patel's resignation as RBI Guv: His resignation will be bad for our economy, RBI & govt. He should at least stay till July, until the next govt comes to power. PM should call him & find out the reason&dissuade him from leaving in larger public interest pic.twitter.com/HutGRuuiob
