Will The new governor of RBI has the knowledge and the guts to manage both the economy and power seeking politicians under whom he has to work?

For the first time in the history of the country Governor of RBI resigns finding himself uncomfortable in the seat and  for the first time in the history of the nation a person who does not have a formal degree in Economics is elevated to this exalted position at a time when the country and the currency are not in good shape from the standpoint of jobs and all the concerns of the common man under the sun 

Is he going to protect the autonomy , credibility and  transparency of the RBI as if it has not been molested in the recent times especially after the  exit of Raghuram Rajan ? Is he a right choice to  be appointed as he happens to be  some one who played a larger role in enacting the drama of a monster called Demonetization with all mistaken assumptions and dancing to the tune of  the establishment soaked economic illiteracy and heightened stupidity in not understanding the stock flow confusion  in the literature on black money /wealth ?

Will it be helpful to the Market or Common man or the government which wants a yes man .while typing this I am also listening to  the statement of Former RBI governor currently the chief of Bank of England that how job crisis  needs the attention of the economy..It is shameful that a person who spends lakhs on dress and travel everyday and flaunts with colurful dresses and costly suit at tax payers benevolence or the corporate funds does not have the sensitivity and elementary responsibility in neogotiating the challenges of growth and job and not rushing to the zones of national disaster , thriving on hate politics..and irrelevant projects which do not help the country

The new governor  may maintain a cordial relation with government but will he promote common good and control  the levers which govern the currency, jobs and stability of growth  in the election  year surcharged atmosphere and the ruling party has been given a slap that it deserves?!

The time has come to focus on the economy and not on the corporate, on politics and not on individuals...The RBI governor has a larger role to play and  not develop any servility to the authorities..Let us hope that he will learn more economics  which is nothing but the common sense , made difficult by professors in the class room ..
RBI's excess reserves has policy implication  and what is important is that the financial system must  be well protected  from the politicians whose eyes are on short term and not always in line with good economics because they do not know that economics which helps the majority of the population
