“Former RBI Governor Dr. Y.V. Reddy, in his book, named businessmen who robbed banks with the aid of Congress.”
What FACTLY found
Dr. Y.V. Reddy’s 2017 memoir, Advice, and Dissent: My Life in Public Service, reflects on his tenure as RBI Governor and his role in economic policy and financial stability. It does not make any mention of the list of 28 individuals allegedly involved in bank robberies with the aid of those in the Congress. The book highlights Reddy’s experiences, including his leadership of the Fourteenth Finance Commission.
