I don't know why Tamil people sent Chidambaram to Delhi: Modi

Chennai: BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today lashed out at the UPA and asked why the people of Tamil Nadu sent this man (Chidambaram) to Delhi. 

He was speaking to the audience after delivering the Nani Palkhivala memorial lecture in Madras University. 




"Today our rupee is in ICU, I don't know why Tamil people sent this person to Delhi," Modi said, referring to Finance Minister P Chidambaram, who was elected to Lok Sabha from Tamil Nadu.

Modi also criticized External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid. 

"Our foreign minister goes to China and says he wants to stay on in Beijing... I wish such people stay on in Beijing, we don't need them," he said in an attack on  Salman Khurshid.

Modi said that India was in dire need of a statesman Atal Bihari Vajpayee who had conducted nuclear tests, withoutt fearing global sanctions because he enjoyed the people's confidence.

"When you don't have support of the people, a PM can't do anything," he said, adding in a jibe at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, "and when you don't have the support of the party, the people of India suffer."
