New Delhi, Jul 31: Home Minister P Chidambaram today evaded a question on reports that he would soon be appointed as the next Finance Minister, saying he was “content” with his current job.
“I don't think so. I am very happy to meet you once in a month. I am content to do the job I am doing and we will meet next month,” he told reporters when asked whether today's media interaction would be his last press conference as Home Minister.
About reports that a notification has gone to
Rashtrapati Bhavan for the approval of President Pranab Mukherjee to appoint him as the new Finance Minister, Chidambaram said “I am too small a person for the President to tell me”.
There have been intense speculation that Chidambaram, a former Finance Minister, will soon return to his old post.
