Admitting to differences with Urjit Patel, who quit as RBI Governor, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said the government is the sovereign body for managing the economy and RBI Governors have exited if differences were not settled.

"If you look at the history of the RBI, you had several incidents in the past where governments have had a different view from what the RBI has had and then those differences either get settled or the Governors have made way," he said at a conclave here.
