The PSBs are having two husbands and one of them is trying to dominate to pre-empt what is the main role and function of the other.In otherwords RBi is not being allowed to play its designated role through frequent interference with the operational areas of the PSBs and the designated role of RBI under its statute for which it is accountable.Let us ponder if RBI has become superfluous and needs to be liquidated so as to handover every thing to Finance Ministry to manage and RBi can escape blame-game for all the ills of the economy.
