“Few days ago Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subraminan met me over vedio conferencing. He informed me that he would like to go back to the United States on account of pressing family commitements. His reasons were personal but extremely important for him. He left me with no option but to agree with him, “Jaitely wrote in a Facebook post.
