    By any chance, Mr. Pai, are you too an economist like the Chaiwala ??

    Then, you both may be knowing that Foreign Exchange reserves can be used only for imports, none other internal requirements.

    Congrats Mr. Pai, keep your faith continued on your counterpart.

    Foreign exchange reserves of any country are not assets of the Government (unless it is North Korea)...
    ...they are LIABILITIES!

    Most of these reserves in India are made up of remittances by very hard-working migrants who are never noticed by the Government!

    Thank you Indian Beef exporters. Thank you NRI workers, please continue doing your service to the nation.

    When is our PM leaving the nation for globe trotting ? The coffers are filled to the brim, at your service. Though the growth at the interiors is contracting by 7.7%, you need not worry. Continue fooling the masses saying that you are going to bring business. We wonder whether India has a PM or Business Development Manager.
