Congress in Karnataka is struggling to fill the financial gap, thanks to their power hungry populist freebies approach to win elections. Currently many of state projects are put on hold as almost 20% of the state budget is redirected to pay for free bus travels, free unemployment benefits, free rice …. What we as voters should understand is there is nothing free and such handouts are more hurtful for societies than beneficial.
It is the hangover effect of phone banking of UPI era that kept the growth low for five years.UPA would have destroyed the country if they had a chance to handle the pandemic.
The greatest tragedy and biggest hypocrisy is that, in India people who have squandered public money , corrupt to the core, have been to jail for corruption , acted against countries interest and what not are still glorified by section just to meet their selfish needs..... hope majority of the people are now aware of this...
India is heaven - when it comes to democracy and free wpeech. Even a man like PC gets a forum to talk from. After all that he has done.. in tamizh we say, "vaayila ketta vaarthai dhan varudhu"..
One question to PC. Do you regret even once, that when you were in power, you should have done better things for the country? Not to run these massive corruption that helped only you! How do you justify your statement about the views on digital money transactions? All your statements absolutely makes no sense to an average citizen like me, who is part of no party! People like you should be punished for what you did for the contrary in your time. Please never make these kind of statements. It only bring out the fury of people who are neutral against you. It seves no objective other than that.
I agree with the contention of Mr. Chidambaram that growth rate in the UPA regime was much higher than that in the 9 years of the Modi regime. However, that is to be seen in the context of overall global scenario prevailing during the relevant periods. In the decade from 2004 to 2014 the world economy grew from $44.14 trillion to $79.45 trillion (80% growth). In the succeeding 9 years the world GDP was $105.57 trillion (32% growth) India’s growth during the relevant periods was 186% and 84% respectively ( The related GDP numbers are 2004: $0.72 trillion, 2014: $2.04 trillion & 2023: $3.75 trillion). The conclusion is that India has not done badly during the Modi regime. So, Chidambaram’s argument is not factual. India grew in the Manmohan Sigh era because the global economy was growing. Now due to pandemic , global economic growth had a setback, yet Indian economy fared comparatively better.
The growth rate of loot of our treasury was also highest during this man's watch. Banks were pillaged and stranded with 8lac crore NPA. Also fake currency was awash in the system due to PC specific connviance with Pak to reverse earlier decsions and award the currency paper supplier contract to company that produced for Pakistan. Its a testimony to Indias freedoms and capacity to forgive that people like Raghuram Rajan n PC still get a seat in public fora. India today shd change its name to India yesterday or turn its gaze to contemporary India if it seeks relevance and crefibility
“There are 37.9 million Americans living in poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.” How are we doing more poorly than US as a percentage of population?
This chidu was the same guy who criticised digital economy, scams were at peak and inflation was double digit. First u answer about scams and y inflation was double digit?y india today inviting such people.
This guy opposed UPI fearing large scale corruption pie to his party and himself would stop. MODIJI did just that and his hatred and helplessness is evident. No longer can he and his party keep Hindus divided and poor
If you give REVDI - You cannot invest in future. Like as poor parents- invest in education of children. The results are not going to show overnight. This is exactly MODI govt is doing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
NOBODY DAMN LISTEN YOU. 😢😢😢😢😮😮 HE EVERYTIME DEGRADES INDIA 🇮🇳. HE EVERY TIME ⏲️ SAYS INDIA 🇮🇳 IS WEAK .INDIA CAN NOT DO THIS AND THAT. NEVER RECOGNIZE THE STRENGTH OF 💪 COUNTRY. 😑😑😑😑😑🥶🥶
Irony is none of these viewers who can understand this kind of English nor the commentors are the ones who vote or can impact election results. This is just entertainment for those who can understand this kind of English and for those who are in anguish.
He was utter non-sense during the congree regime, he never tried to bring something new on table. He must be good speaker and good thinker but was worse when implementing things. Trying something new in financial system brings new challenges and more hardwork but congress was so relaxed as of country back then
How can India Today invite sach person who has fleeced lakh crores Entire public sector banking was about to go bankrupt in his regime as finance minister
During his period banks were looted resulted in high NPA and almost collapsed banks. Modi kept inflation under control Swatch bharat if followed fully covid could have lesser deaths
These kind of PPL we have been seeing whole post independence times. All no. Twisted as they like but it doesn't feel like in the ground level. But contrary to this look like people feel things are changing in the real ground level

While Chidaram siri was growing corers worth cabages on terrace in pots while government of India was mulling with xovid pademic. Sir your 10 years tenure has never buiilt capacities in heath sector damn you never as a party in peer never looked district or mandal level infrastucture. Chidambaram sir can see into your eye and make statement or mesmaring proportions that never be true.
Good talent wasted on self interest, unfortunate for the country. Had he been loyal to the aspirations of the nation, he would have had achieved much more than personal gains.
This is a waste of time to interview this guy, who once ridiculed d digital transformation of India in Rajyasabha.....n had not trust on upj and digital payments.....
Isn’t his shifting goal post in every issue a sort of pathetic. Being critical is good for opposition, but giving points as if talking to dumb-heads, is kind of exposing to his reputation.
Should you not ask him how his son is saying that he is worth 8 lac crores. Good ideas will be oriented towers personal worth and not the people of this news is true
Rahul, my first objection is this forum calling Chidambaram. He is a known cheater and a fraud. Period. When he is involved in fake currency scam. Why should I trust what he is saying about the present state of economy. He is the one who laughed at digitisation of India. He is not even a visionary. I am stopping to watch this even though I am interested in an alternate view.
INDIA IS GREAT STRONG SECULAR AND LARGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE GLOBAL WORLD BECAUSE INDIANS ARE SPECIALLY BLESSED TALENTED SMART HARDWORKING HUMBLE AND HONEST 👍
Mr Chidambaram you have all the gyani, but where was this gyan..during corrupt congrss government. You rules for 70 years, what right you have to talk about poverty. Also economics can't be understood as per your whims and fancy. G20 is not meant on per capita gdp. So will g3 not be.

What growth
What about inflation between 2004 to 2009
It is the hangover effect of phone banking of UPI era that kept the growth low for five years.UPA would have destroyed the country if they had a chance to handle the pandemic.
Nonsense
The greatest tragedy and biggest hypocrisy is that, in India people who have squandered public money , corrupt to the core, have been to jail for corruption , acted against countries interest and what not are still glorified by section just to meet their selfish needs..... hope majority of the people are now aware of this...
#Chidambaram should be jailed 😡 #Modi hai tau mumkin hai🇮🇳 #Aajtak ban #Congress #Italy go back
Confiscate his looted wealth !
We could help many people with his looted wealth.
India has been too lenient on the crooks like him.
India is heaven - when it comes to democracy and free wpeech. Even a man like PC gets a forum to talk from. After all that he has done.. in tamizh we say, "vaayila ketta vaarthai dhan varudhu"..
Chidambaram....when is your second honeymoon and excursion to Tihar jain due...... waiting for reply😢😮😅😊

Absolutely true 🇮🇳
Mr Chidambaram speaks of high growth rate during UPA regime. Clever! When the base is low, the rate would be high.
I agree with the contention of Mr. Chidambaram that growth rate in the UPA regime was much higher than that in the 9 years of the Modi regime.

When actually confronted with the "low base" argument he, audaciously, remarks that we have to grow at any cost
“There are 37.9 million Americans living in poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.” How are we doing more poorly than US as a percentage of population?
This chidu was the same guy who criticised digital economy, scams were at peak and inflation was double digit. First u answer about scams and y inflation was double digit?y india today inviting such people.
BJP government needs to investigate corruption scandals done by Congress Ministers during 2004 to 2014 including former Finance Minister.
scrap Talk 😮
Gdp ppp makes more sense than gdp nominal !
We are inporting technology because the congress goverments never invested on reserch and developments for over 60 years.
He speaks of 23 cr people living in abject poverty. Would like to know the number under his watch
Pl ASK WHAT IS THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GANDHI AND CCP. It is the same like Pakistan army.
Waste of time to watch this interview
This guy opposed UPI fearing large scale corruption pie to his party and himself would stop. MODIJI did just that and his hatred and helplessness is evident. No longer can he and his party keep Hindus divided and poor
Sharpest Immaculate and Robust Knowledge of Honourable, P.Chidambaram.
All that ends as a cringe fest with the hate he has for India.
He will grant you poverty for life.
If you give REVDI - You cannot invest in future. Like as poor parents- invest in education of children. The results are not going to show overnight. This is exactly MODI govt is doing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
SAB SE AAGEY HONGE HINDUSTANI YEH BAAT HAI SAB NE MAANI
Mr Rahul should have talked about our progress in digitisation. Would have loved to see MrChidambaram squirm a bit 😎
Why Chidambaram did not lift the poor from poverty when he was finance minister. Yes he become super rich
Sense less
Chimbu you didn't take into account covid
We can
One sentence grand master in Fake currency rocketry .
NOBODY DAMN LISTEN YOU.
😢😢😢😢😮😮
HE EVERYTIME DEGRADES INDIA 🇮🇳.
HE EVERY TIME ⏲️ SAYS INDIA 🇮🇳 IS WEAK .INDIA CAN NOT DO THIS AND THAT.
NEVER RECOGNIZE THE STRENGTH OF 💪 COUNTRY.
😑😑😑😑😑🥶🥶

CONG GAVE US NPA
He was utter non-sense during the congree regime, he never tried to bring something new on table. He must be good speaker and good thinker but was worse when implementing things. Trying something new in financial system brings new challenges and more hardwork but congress was so relaxed as of country back then
How can India Today invite sach person who has fleeced lakh crores
Entire public sector banking was about to go bankrupt in his regime as finance minister
During his period banks were looted resulted in high NPA and almost collapsed banks. Modi kept inflation under control
Swatch bharat if followed fully covid could have lesser deaths
UPI still on hangover 🤔
OFFCOURSE THEY HAVE GREAT TALENT
THEY DO A LOT OF CORRUPTION EVEN THEN MOVING FREELY.
AND GIVING AN INTERVIEW
😮😮😮😮.
We need educated leaders
His comments about government 's handling of COVID is very very unfair. He is only repeating the claims of the likes of Barkha Dutt. SAD!!!
BJP don’t have anyone who can speak sensibly. but Congress is blessed with intellectuals.
Pseudo intellectuals to be precise..
BJP has S Jaishanker, Jayant Sinha. Congress is blessed with intellectuals led by a fool who dreams of being PM one day.
totally waste .
These kind of PPL we have been seeing whole post independence times. All no. Twisted as they like but it doesn't feel like in the ground level. But contrary to this look like people feel things are changing in the real ground level
What about Billions of rupees of NPA created by corrupt practices by Congress Government during 2004 to 2014
Sharpest and worst mind
The growth rate of loot of our treasury was also highest during this man's watch. Banks were pillaged and stranded with 8lac crore NPA. Also fake currency was awash in the system due to PC specific connviance with Pak to reverse earlier decsions and award the currency paper supplier contract to company that produced for Pakistan.

What he said on upi 2016 speech in parliament just listen those speech p chindaram was not suitable for our finance minister
While Chidaram siri was growing corers worth cabages on terrace in pots while government of India was mulling with xovid pademic.
Sir your 10 years tenure has never buiilt capacities in heath sector damn you never as a party in peer never looked district or mandal level infrastucture.
Chidambaram sir can see into your eye and make statement or mesmaring proportions that never be true.
Rahul has exaggerated by saying brightest finance minister. I think he was a failure.
This guy is as good as the questioner.
Rahul don't disgrace yourself by talking to the fellow who is heading the most corrupted family in india.He should be in jjail now.
Good talent wasted on self interest, unfortunate for the country. Had he been loyal to the aspirations of the nation, he would have had achieved much more than personal gains.
Thuk ke chaatne ke liye Chidambaram is getting ready....same like his view on UPI....
He’s a lawyer not a financier!
This is a waste of time to interview this guy, who once ridiculed d digital transformation of India in Rajyasabha.....n had not trust on upj and digital payments.....
Isn’t his shifting goal post in every issue a sort of pathetic. Being critical is good for opposition, but giving points as if talking to dumb-heads, is kind of exposing to his reputation.
Views are not much convincing. He had good time to improve infrastructure,skill development,economic& technology but he didn’t do it.
😂😂😂 Alternate views😅😅😅He has nothing good to say about the current govt.This is the irony we indians are facing.
Should you not ask him how his son is saying that he is worth 8 lac crores. Good ideas will be oriented towers personal worth and not the people of this news is true
And now listen to …….Mr CHOR!
What a waste of time
Rahul, my first objection is this forum calling Chidambaram. He is a known cheater and a fraud. Period. When he is involved in fake currency scam. Why should I trust what he is saying about the present state of economy. He is the one who laughed at digitisation of India. He is not even a visionary. I am stopping to watch this even though I am interested in an alternate view.
Negative vibes. Why to call even people like him. Chidambaram?
This Dad-Son Frauds interview is just waste of time... Only his family wealth increased drastically in his term...
Why waste time with thus guy. Who has surrendered everything to one family and shamelessly supports pappu
Truth hurts
A FAILED FM ON BAIL
This is the lungi guy who makes fun of digital transactions 😂😂..such a poor mind he has for our country 😅
A very clear exposition of India's present terrible economic condition by Mr. Chidambaram. How nice it would be to have him again as Finance minister.
Goes to show how traitors to India think and whom they still support.
Clown.
This man blabars
Polished crook
INDIA IS GREAT STRONG SECULAR AND LARGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE GLOBAL WORLD BECAUSE INDIANS ARE SPECIALLY BLESSED TALENTED SMART HARDWORKING HUMBLE AND HONEST 👍
Mr Chidambaram you have all the gyani, but where was this gyan..during corrupt congrss government. You rules for 70 years, what right you have to talk about poverty. Also economics can't be understood as per your whims and fancy. G20 is not meant on per capita gdp. So will g3 not be.

Biggest thief.
