However, Rajan said that his long term plan is to teach. "My long term plan is to get back into academics, to teach and to go for research," he added.
Rajan had on Tuesday said the decision on his reappointment will be taken after a discussion with the Centre. "The decision is taken after discussion between the incumbent and the government. The best I can do is to point you towards the statements of the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister," Rajan had said.
Taking a jibe at the hullabaloo over a second term for him he had said, "It will be cruel of me to spoil the fun the press is having on my extension."
