Between 2003 and 2006, he was the Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund.The former RBI head, a vocal critic of demonetisation, had in the past expressed concerns over India’s economic growth and fiscal deficit. Rajan revealed in his book u2013 I do what I do u2013 that he did not favour demonetisation as he felt the short term economic costs associated with such a disruptive decision would outweigh any long term benefits from it.Videos shared on social media showed Mr Rajan and Mr Gandhi having a discussion while marching as the Congress’s footmarch resumed from Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan.
