BJP Slams PC, Says He is Playing Terrorism with Facts

New Delhi: Hitting out at Finance Minister P Chidambaram for attacking Narendra Modi, BJP today accused him of indulging in "statistical jugglery" about the growth figures and making unfair comparisons of the UPA's nine years

"They are comparing nine years average with five years average of NDA," Sinha said, adding that when NDA came to power the growth rate was 4.8 per cent and when the BJP-led coalition relinquished office it was 8.6 per cent.

"Chidambaram is doing terrorism with facts.... He is only comparing on averages. This is only jugglery of figures," he said.

The former Finance Minister also maintained that while NDA had created 60 million jobs in five years, the UPA government has only provided 2.7 million jobs in nine years.

Sinha said, "Congress has reasons to be scared of Modi, so they don't miss any chance of doing it. The more they will target him the more it will help Modi."
