While hitting out at Subramanian, the newly-appointed Rajya Sabha MP alleged that the CEA has inclination towards the US.


Swamy tweeted: "Who said to US Cong on 13/3/13 the US should act against India to defend US Pharmaceuticals interests? Arvind Subramanian MoF !! Sack him!!!"


"Guess who encouraged Congi to become rigid on GST clauses ? Jaitely's economic adviser Arvind Subramanian of Washington DC."




Meanwhile, a Bloomberg News survey conducted recently has yielded that Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian is the most poised to take over the realm of the RBI after Raghuram Rajan steps down on September 4.


Earlier, Swamy said that Raghuram Rajan was a Congress agent and worked to put small and medium industries out of business.


The fireband BJP leader accused the outgoing RBI Governor of sabotaging the Indian economy.


In a series of letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Swamy had demanded sacking of Rajan, arguing that he is not "fully mentally Indian" and had been sending confidential and sensitive financial information around the world.
