Everyone who heard of former cricketer Chetan Chauhan's appointment as chairman of the National Institute of Fashion Technology mocked the decision made by the BJP-led central government.

Twitter had another field day, and Arvind Kejriwal's AAP went ahead with a few suggestions for appointments to other government institutions - actor Anupam Kher as the ISRO chief, former Maharashta Minister Eknath Khadse as the NIA chief, and author Chetan Bhagat as the next RBI governor!

However, the best-selling author has not taken the party's comment in his stride. In his usual way of responding via Twitter, he posted a series of tweets 'requesting AAP to behave in a decent manner.'

Just on this news. Neither am I interested, nor am in the running for the RBI guv job. Nor do I have a view on NIFT. https://t.co/OgbKsuUDi2 — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) June 19, 2016

I would request AAP to behave in a decent manner and not do mud-slinging PR like the news in the last tweet. — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) June 19, 2016

Dear AAP, as you mock me, assure u had i ever done (am not) the RBI guv job, would be able to do it better than many others. June 19, 2016

AAP should tell its lo-IQ spokespersons to think twice before attacking others, though i understand thinking isn't their strong point. — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) June 19, 2016

I love writing stories too much. But dear AAP, given my prev job I know economies and monetary policies better than any of you ever will. — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) June 19, 2016

Mic Drop!
