Rajeev Mehrishi

Union minister Arun Jaitley today rubbished Congress accusations of the Comptroller and Auditor General being "complicit in the irregularities" of the Rafale deal, saying Rajeev Mehrishi was in no way associated with the decision-making process on the fighter jets.

The bureaucrat leading Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Swachh Bharat" or Clean India mission has quit abruptly, even before the project could complete a year. Vijaylakshmi Joshi, a Gujarat cadre officer, has taken voluntary retirement citing "personal reasons".

The government plans to change the Reserve Bank of India Act before the end of the fiscal year so it can set up a new committee to direct the country's monetary policy, retiring Finance Secretary Rajeev Mehrishi told Reuters.

Days after the Centre bringing in the landmark single rate Goods and Services Tax or GST Bill, the states on Friday demanded early redressal of their concerns on revenue loss while pressing for release of more funds and having a say in implementation of the central schemes.
