Jairam Ramesh

While the Congress was celebrating BJP's defeat on counting day, seemingly forgetting its own, Jairam Ramesh has now said 'our arrogance has to go'.
The Congress reacted to HuffPost Indias report on the involvement of Modi's office in approving illegal sale of electoral bonds just before critical state assembly elections.
On Tuesday, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh called for the scheme to scrapped while MP Rajeev Gowda called it legalised corruption.
The 'HuffPost India' investigation by journalist Nitin Sethi showed how, 2 days before announcing electoral bonds, the Modi govt dismissed the RBI's warnings on the scheme.
For cooperative federalism to work, states need to be consulted otherwise there may be a feeling that the Modi government is trying to rob the states of their due resource allotment through the finance commission, he said.
The blame game within the party now seems to be shifting from the Praveen Chakravarty-led data analytics department to the core committee that led the campaign, including leaders such as Jairam Ramesh and P. Chidambaram.
