Finance minister Arun Jaitley today brushed away speculation that the government was eyeing money held by the Reserve Bank of India in its reserves so that it could announce a mega poll sop ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election. Jaitley said that he does not want a "single rupee" from the RBI's surplus to fulfil his fiscal deficit goals or for any other expenses. At the same time, Jaitley reiterated that a debate must be held on the issue of exactly how much money the RBI could hold in its reserves. Arun Jaitley's comments came on Day 2 of Agenda Aaj Tak where the finance minister spoke broadly on the Indian economy.
