New Delhi, Nov 19 (IBNS): Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the rift between the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Centre, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said he hopes the central bank's Chairman Urjit Patel will show the position of Modi.

Amid reports of rifts with the Centre, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s board meeting began on Monday morning.

Reports have emerged that the government has proposed a few changes with which the Centre will be able to strictly supervise the RBI.

Referring to Modi, Rahul tweeted, "Mr Modi and his coterie of cronies, continue to destroy every institution they can get their hands on. Today, through his puppets at the #RBIBoardMeet he will attempt to destroy the RBI. I hope Mr Patel and his team have a spine and show him his place."

The government and the RBI will try to arrive at a middle ground over the issue, report said.

The board meeting was presided by the Finance Ministry nominees and some independent directors.

Though reports had also surfaced that RBI Governor Urjit Patel might resign, a situation which is now much unlikely to occur, NDTV reported.
