Modi belittled sacrifices of army: Chidambaram !

Ahmedabad: Taking a dig at chief minister Narendra Modi on his home turf, Union home minister P Chidambaram said that not 'budhiya' or 'gudiya', but security, economic stability, communal harmony and foreign policy are issues of concern to the people. The home minister was speaking to media persons in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

It needs to be remembered that these are national elections. The CM [Modi] seems to think that these elections are about Gujarat," he said. Modi had earlier referred to the Congress party as a budhiya (old lady) and, later, as a gudiya (doll).

Reiterating that the country is not as affected by the recession as the rest of the world, Chidambaram said, "It needs to be underlined that India is not facing a recession, only a slowdown. It must be noted that India and China are the only two countries that have reported positive growth even in 2008-09, amid a global crisis. And, if any one (between Advani and Manmohan Singh) can handle the slowdown better, I am sure 90% of the people will vote for Singh."

Slamming the Gujarat CM for his comments on the allegedly safe passage given to terrorists during the siege of the Hazratbal shrine in the Kashmir valley in 1995, Chidambaram said Modi's statements could not be farther from the truth. He demanded an apology from the chief minister for belittling the sacrifices of the Army.

"Modi's statements are factually incorrect," Chidambaram said. "Someone holding the post of chief minister should not be allowed to get away with such lies. Here are the facts: in April 1995, terrorists entered the village where the Charar-e-Sharif shrine is located.

100% growth means nothing. He is bluffing. U have to talk by comparing with other countries. That doesn't mean he doesn't know what is he talking ! He is talking becoz 95% don't know how these numbers are considered. When Bjp India grew 3.5% in 2002-03, then world economy grew less THAN 2%. We had economic sanctions. WHEN INDIA grew at 9%, world economy which includes even africa grew at 4%. Not to mention how SEZ and other economic liberties of bjp helped congress. There is always a lag period.

Chidambaram, Manmohan. they r all Qualified...but what's the use ?? when they couldn't do anything becoz of Leftists ? for first 4 years except for administrative changes govt couldn't do anything.only Nuclear deal. And claim 9% growth. When asia grew on average 6.5% and World grew close to 4% whats the big deal in having 8.5% average growth ? Atleast bjp with limited resources encouraged FDI, and extended what Manmohan has left behind. Growth during Bjp was 5.8%, growth in asia then was ~4%.

Atleast Chidambaram understands what he says. BJP has leadership crisis??? I believe congress is a better choice than BJP in this election.

[dadarocks]

Grwoth rate of 9 % with inflation of 16% means -7% growth Mr Chidambaram who are you lying..

Let us see when you had growth rate in 4% region BJP gave in 6% when you had road construction rate of 10 km/month BJP had 10 km/day...

Whole project on infrastructure has stopped..

Under congress we have record deicti of 16% of GDP

[dadarocks]

Add the inflation of 16% p of food items

[dadarocks]

Leader who releases money to bofors thug like Quttrochi..leader who lies through his teeth that he didn;t know about tytler's clean-chit

[sharatsharm42]

Manmohan sing. The pride of india , the lion of punjab..

A man of few words, a Man of great deeds

The father of indian growth story

The man who created a new india as Finance mInister In 1991..And the man who came back to its aid as Prime minister in 2009

The honest one, the unblemished record...

[rajkiran1982]

chiddu starts with talking about growth for poor and not rich..but, doesnt tell how much is the growth of poor and that of rich... fact is that they've pushed another 3% below poverty line..
