The former head of India's Statistics Commission, PC Mohanan, who suddenly quit on January 28, has told NDTV that the government not releasing the NSSO report on jobs was the "last straw", forcing him to step down. Claiming the Commission had been repeatedly sidelined, he said, "When it came to the NSSO report, and one of the reports that we approved on December 5 as per the release calendar, was not getting released. So this was the last straw."
