NDA stands for “No Data Available’ government: P Chidambaram

Congress Rajya Sabha MP and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram ridiculed the National Democratic Alliance and said that it doesn’t provide data on anything, hence, it is a “No Data Available’ government.

Chidambaram spoke in the parliament soon after the Prime Minister finished his speech and said that when the government was asked about the data on death due to lack of Oxygen or the names of members of the tukde tukde gang, it said that it doesn’t have any data on it.

Chidambaram said, “I am a member of the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang, which means disruption. I am worried because in this Parliament a question was asked, ‘who are members of the tukde-tukde gang. The honourable minister said, ‘we have no data available on tukde-tukde gang’.”

“No data is also available on oxygen shortage deaths, corpses floating in rivers, migrants walking back to their homes, and doubling farmers income, which was supposed to happen in 2022,” he added.

The former Finance Minister also said that before he was obliged to walk out, the Prime Minister was speaking eloquently about jobs and employment. “I want to humbly submit to him a statistic which he should use in his next speech. As on March 31, 2021, there were 8.72 lakh vacancies in the Central government. And the almighty Government of India recruited 78,264 persons to fill vacancies, leaving nearly 8 lakh vacancies vacant as of today,” he said.

He added, “The thing I liked about the Finance Minister’s Budget speech is that it was the shortest speech of 90 minutes. I will also keep my reply very short.”
