P Chidambaram

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday accused Congress of insulting "poor Indians" after its leader P Chidambaram took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying that a 'pakoda' (fried snacks) seller earning Rs 200 a day should also be considered employed. 'Prime Minister Modi respects poor people who work hard to earn their livelihood. Congress and P. Chidambaram make fun of them,' said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar while responding to Chidamabram's tweet earlier in the day.
