 "Modi govt's thoughtless, destructive acts behind Patel's resignation: Naidu")
The resignation of Urjit Patel as RBI governor Monday is a result of the Centre's "thoughtless and destructive" acts, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said.
"The BJP-led central government's thoughtless and destructive acts were leading to the collapse of national institutions and systems.
RBI Governors resignation is a result of such acts," Naidu said in a statement, reacting to the development.

"If the destruction continues like this, no system can survive in the country. Ultimately, even survival of democracy will be in danger," Naidu said.
