In what could be termed as a surprising development, former India cricketer Chetan Chauhan has been appointed as the chairman of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). Soon after the development, the former Bharatiya Janata Party MP (BJP) was turned a butt of jokes on micro blogging website Twitter with the Twitterati posting jokes on his appointment as NIFT chairperson and having a good laugh.
Appointment of Chetan Chauhan to NIFT has surged hopes for Swamy to be the next RBI Gov.
