Former Union finance minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party over the Prime Minister’s decision to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, once again. He called demonetisation a “reckless” move and wondered what other such “reckless” moves were yet to come out.

He also said that he wished for the present government to achieve growth rates similar to that of the United Progressive Alliance-1. He however added that they were not in a position to do so.
Wish govt meets our growth rates of 8.5% in UPA-1 & 7.5% overall. All the best to them, but they aren't in position to do so: Chidambaram pic.twitter.com/ye4E9NMr28

Chidambaram also said that the presentation of the Union Budget this close to the election would not influence the five poll-bound states as people had already stopped talking about it.
