'Government looking for math tutor': Rahul's swipe at Centre

July 14, 2017 09:03

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Reserve Bank of India said that it is still counting the demonetised notes deposited in the banks, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi omocked it by saying that the government was on the look out for a "math tutor", and the people can apply to the Prime Minister's Office for the post.

Rahul took to his Twitter handle by saying, "GOI looking for a math tutor. Please apply to PMO ASAP."

The remark emanated after RBI Governor Urjit Patel told a parliamentary panel on Wednesday that it could not provide an accurate amount of scrapped notes received by the banks as it was still counting the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency.
