उत्तर
Yes, I would like to exchange my place with Donald Trump, the American President. After he won the presidency he has created a cold war between many ethnic minorities and Americans. His policies against emigrants have made him. very unpopular. His stand against Muslims seeking a visa for studies or even Short stay draw a lot of criticism among Americans who believe in liberty, equality, and justice. If I were permitted to swap places with Trump, I will liberate the laws that permit Indian citizens to enter America to pursue post-graduate studies or seek jobs corresponding to their skill sets. I could also liberalise the emigration policy without. hurting the harmonious co-existence of many races.
I would not exchange my position with the RBI Governor. His position now is the most worrisome. On the one hand, the media is persuading the poorest of the poor to do all transactions through Rupay or BHIM App. Middle-class people pay their taxes very honestly. But Business magnets take loans to the tune of 5000 crores and just escape to foreign countries. If the centralized monitoring of nationalized banks is not done effectively, why should the large hardworking middle-class trust nationalized banks: we can’t trust RBI which has failed in restoring, the faith of the common man.
