Rahul slams Jaitley for breaking news of Subramanian's quitting on FB
New Delhi, June 20: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed Union Minister Arun Jaitley for uning Facebook to break the news about Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Arvind Subramanian's term not getting extended.
He also took a veiled attack at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying "Captain DeMo is fast asleep".
The Congress also slammed the government following Subramanian's resignation, saying the financial experts are fed up of its "economic mismanagement".
"Ex? FM is locked in his room, breaking news on Facebook. BJP Treasurer has the keys to the Indian Economy," said Gandhi in a series of tweets.
"The brightest flee the sinking ship, as the 'invisible hand' of the RSS steers it onto the rocks.
"Meanwhile, Captain DeMo is fast asleep. It's crazy out there!"
Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted: "Financial experts of Modi government are completely fed up by its Colossal economic mismanagement, tepid economic reforms and financial anarchy.
"CEA, Arvind Subramanian's resignation after the stepping down of Niti Aayog's Arvind Panagriya and RBI Gov Raghuram Rajan comes as no suprise!".
Subramanian's term would not be extended any further as he wants to go back to the US due to family commitments, Jaitley said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

Primary teacher spends Rs 2.1 lakh, takes 17 students on air trip to Hyderabad for 100% attendance
Belagavi, November 9: A primary school teacher from Sonatti village in Belagavi district spent Rs 2.1 lakh from his savings to take 17 students on an air trip to Hyderabad as a reward for maintaining perfect attendance. Prakash Deyanna, a teacher at the Government Primary School in Sonatti, organized the trip on November 7, fulfilling a promise he had made to encourage regular attendance.
Located 11 kilometers from Belagavi city, the school had been struggling with low attendance rates, with many students often staying home to assist their daily wage-earning families. In an attempt to change this, Deyanna pledged to take the children on an air tour if they attended classes daily. Motivated by this unique offer, 17 students maintained perfect attendance throughout the term.
Deyanna, joined by three colleagues and the president of the School Development and Monitoring Committee (SDMC), accompanied the students on their trip, visiting popular sites in Hyderabad such as Ramoji Film City, Charminar, Snow World, Salar Jung Museum, and Golconda Fort.
Speaking about his initiative, Deyanna stated, "Traditional efforts to improve attendance weren't working, so I decided to try something new. It’s rewarding to see the children’s enthusiasm, and I’m happy to have been able to keep my word."
