Commenting upon the Yes bank crisis, he said: "Rahul Gandhi should not play politics on Yes Bank crisis. Account-holders of Yes Bank should not panic. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar have assured them that their money is safe. Govt is providing all the help to customers."
RBI on Thursday said a "moratorium" has been imposed on Yes Bank stressing that the bank's financial capability has undergone a steady decline largely due to the inability of the bank to raise capital.
During the period of moratorium, the Yes Bank Limited shall not, without the permission in writing of the Reserve Bank of India, make, in the aggregate, payment to a depositor of a sum exceeding Rs. 50,000 lying to his credit, in any savings, current or any other deposit account.
