AAP spokespeson Raghav Chadha had hit out at the BJP-led government saying the party should appoint Bhagat as the RBI Governor, Anupam Kher as chief of ISRO and Eknath Khadse for NIA.

Bhagat, in a series of tweets, said that he was not interested in the RBI Governor post and asked AAP’s ‘lo-IQ’ members to think twice.

“Dear AAP, as you mock me, assure u had i ever done (am not) the RBI guv job, would be able to do it better than many others,” he said in a tweet.

AAP should tell its lo-IQ spokespersons to think twice before attacking others, though i understand thinking isn’t their strong point.

Taking on AAP leaders, he also said that he had a better knowledge of the economy and monetary policy compared to them because of his previous job experience.
