Congress dubs CBI raids on Chidambaram's home as witch hunt by Modi govt

The Congress dubbed CBI raids on premises related to Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, as political witch hunt by the Modi government and said it won't be cowed down by such pressure tactics of the ruling BJP. "Revenge has become the DNA of the BJP. Central agencies like CBI and ED have become a puppet in the hands of the centre," Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said responding to the CBI raids at 14 places in Chennai, Delhi, Gurugram and Mumbai.The raids followed an FIR which mentions Karti as an accused in grant of foreign investment in 2007 to a company INX Media owned by former media baron Pater Mukherjee and his wife Indrani. CBI claims Karti's firm received Rs 10 lakh as kickbacks from INX Media which obtained FIPB clearance for funds worth Rs 4.62 crore but got Rs 305 crore.

Note ban, GST was 'utter contempt of public opinion': Chidambaram

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram today hit out at BJP for its resolution supporting implementation of GST and demonetisation, saying it was "utter contempt of public opinion". "BJP national executive supported implementation of GST. They should talk to traders & businessmen in their own party," he said in a tweet. Chidambaram also said the BJP national executive's support to demonetisation is "utter contempt of public opinion". In its national executive, the BJP adopted a six-point agenda, including one on praising the roll out of the GST which led to "one nation, one tax". It claimed the NDA government had "delivered" on its promise on corruption and black money, adding that demonetisation, a move which invited sharp criticism from opposition, "broke the backbone of black market as well as the black money hoarders".

Like demonetisation, bullet train project will kill everything: Chidambaram

Congress leader P Chidambaram today criticised the bullet train project, saying it will be a demonetisation-like move "which will kill everything else", and suggested that the money should instead be spent on improving rail safety. The former finance minister's comments come a day after a stampede on a footbridge connecting Mumbai's suburban railway stations of Parel and Elphinstone claimed 22 lives. The bullet train project, linking Mumbai and Ahmedabad, is not for ordinary people but an "ego trip for the high and mighty", he alleged. Chidambaram also suggested that Railway Minister Piyush Goyal should instead use the Rs one lakh crore meant for the project for ensuring railway safety in the country. "Bullet train will be like demonetisation. It will kill everything else including safety. "Railway Minister may take pledge on day after. Rs one lakh crore for rail safety, track upgrading, signalling & not for bullet train," he said on Twitter. Prime Minister Narendra
