Congress President Rahul Gandhi attacked the government after RBI Governor Urjit Patel quit, saying that there is an assault on institutions like RBI, CBI among others.
Gandhi, flanked by leaders of various opposition parties, was speaking to media here, after a crucial meeting of 18 parties, on the eve of Parliament's winter session.
"The RBI chief has resigned because he could no longer work. There was consensus in the room that we have to stop BJP's assault on institutions be it CBI, RBI, election commission or all different institutions, also assault on the constitution," Rahul said.
He added that there was consensus among the opposition parties that "BJP's corruption on demonetisation, Rafale and other areas are not acceptable and we are going to fight. We are also going to have similar coordination, inside the parliament as well as outside the house."
Earlier in the day RBI's 24 Governor Urjit patel resigned citing personal reasons.
