Government, RBI didn’t bother to read the balance sheet of Yes Bank, says Chidambaram

The Hindu  

The government and the RBI didn’t bother to read the balance sheet of the Yes Bank, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said pointing out to the unusual growth in the loan book at the rate of 35% a year between March 2014 to March 2019. Read: Committed to safeguarding depositors, says Nirmala Sitharaman It was not banking but buccaneering, Mr. Chidambaram said. Read: Editorial | Banking on bailouts “The Yes Bank fiasco is only part of the mismanagement of financial institutions under the watch of the BJP government,” Mr. Chidambaram said. “Just like LIC did, SBI is also doing a command performance.” Reacting to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s comment that most of these loans were extended during the Congress-led UPA government’s tenure, Mr. Chidambaram said: “Sometimes when I listen to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman I feel that UPA is still in power and I am the Finance Minister while she is in Opposition.”
