Rajan on media spotlight

Journalists hoping to cover Raghuram Rajan's (pictured) last public address as Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor at St Stephen's College in New Delhi on Saturday were left disappointed when they were denied entry into the college premises. Rajan in his speech said he had no illusions that "reporters and TV cameras follow me around everywhere because I am a magnetic speaker". They follow RBI governors around because they might offer market-moving information on policy, he said. "Fortunately, I have escaped unintentionally saying anything that moves markets," he quipped.
