Congress leader P. Chidambaram on March 27 attacked the BJP-led Central government over Chief Economic Advisor V. Anantha Nageswaran's reported remarks that the government cannot solve all social and economic problems and asserted that his party has a concrete plan to tackle unemployment which will be revealed in its manifesto.
Mr. Nageswaran reportedly asserted on March 26 that it was incorrect to think that government intervention could solve every social and economic challenge, contending that a diagnosis was easier than a solution when it concerned problems such as unemployment.
In a post on X, former Finance Minister Chidambaram said, "The most startling confession has been made by the Chief Economic Advisor. He said that 'Government cannot solve the problem of unemployment'. Shocking." "If that is the official stand of the BJP government, we must boldly tell the BJP 'vacate your seat'," he said.
