Chidambaram is at level next, even at this age.

Very informative and critical discussions mirror the Indian current economy👏👏👏 Thank you Chidambaram sir ,,

Mr. Chidambaram has spoken openly...❤🎉 Quite articulate.

It is always enlightening to hear Chidambaram. The reason I side with Congress is not just because of their fair just ideology, but because Congress is a party of not just political leaders but of highly intellectual and learned individuals. In BJP we see most of the leaders are either not educated or from criminal background or completely illiterate except for some ome two of them. And that's the reason why Congress has survived till today no matter whatever people say, they are highly educated party so eventually people start to know that we should rely on educated and learned leaders than just voting for people who can only give big election speeches and false promises with big words. I hope people of India will realise that if we really want to be the Vishwaguru than we need leaders who understand economics and contemporary needs with tolerance and peace in the country. Otherwise we can't just be No. 1 uf we keep ourselves engage in communal hatred and intolerance. We need leaders who are able. "It is better to have a true leader who speaks English than rather a leader who speaks hindi but lacks the ability to be a leader'

What a man of wisdom & knowledge capital... Per capita income is important not GDP

Always a pleasure to listen to the very articulate Mr. Chidambram. We must grow faster

According to 2022 Oxfam report 1% rich owns nearly 42% of total wealth in India and 2023 report says 10% owns 77% of total wealth in India. Even if India becomes largest economy in the world , there will not be any tangible change on ground unless we bridge the inequality gap between poor and rich .How much will be the per capita income of those 10% rich and the per capita income of 90 % population who just owns 23%wealth of country. Economic mismanagement, demonetisation, flawed GST , plutocracy, crony capitalism , hike in fuel price, lack of employment,, inequality in distribution of income and wealth price rise of goods and services etc etc made the life common people Very miserable. We need a wise finance minister like Dr Manmohan Singh to tide over the present economic problems.

One should hear Mr Chidambaram Sir's answers for knowing the state of affairs of our Country.

Mr Chidambaram backs his arguments with clear facts and figures.

Very calm and composed way of talking the reality ..

We want to ask Mr.Chidambaram about Digital economy and UPI payments in the Parliament. How terrible he has failed about it. He should explain how n where his calculations have failed.

As always Mr Chidambaram is on point, facts and figures in place and articulate as can be

Excellent discussion and reply by sri P Chidambaram .

PC is the man who brought indian economic to higher standard. Always pleasure to see all his answers

During Manmohan Singh's years, India's GDP grew by 2.87 TIMES, while during MODANI years, it grew by only 1.67 Times. The GDP / Capita grew by 2.5 times during Manmohan Singh era. While Indian GDP / Capita grew only 1.67 times. The Bangladesh GDP / Capita was 45 % less than India's when Modi came to power, while today, it is 10 % higher. If you believe Hindutva drugged Bhkats of India today, Corona did not go to Bangladesh. Today, more Indians aged 18 to 30 are unemployed than those who voted for BJP.

The sense Mr.Chidambram is speaking is lot more than that whole BJP combined

Thanks 4 highlighting the issue of unemployment 🙏 and inflation , these are the 2 biggest issues in india which hardly any1 addresses by but we could have a great answer from chidambram sir that what policies we should have as every gov critices other but no1 tells the solution and its really precarious situation that will be dooming for all students and youth

Excellent discussion; Mr Chidambaram showed his acumen in matters of finance and showed the way forward for Indian Economy by talking about UBS

The best Finance minister- P. CHIDMBARAM

Excellent Great views presented by Mr Chidambaram the congress party senior economist and ex finance minister. I appreciate his knowledge in world affairs and economic and his ideas are great

Thanks to India Today 's interviewer for providing viewers with important informations about India's current economic status & growth hindered by 'per capita income ' decreased factor & other economic policies proven inappropriate for a developing country like India; which have been explained very aptly & logically thru' analysis from our past economic policies laid down by former Govts' Finance Ministers by Mr. Chidambaramji. Suggestions to get rid of crisises like hike in fuel- price, rise in goods' prices & gaviest of all unemployment problem, were to be asked of.

Impressed with Rahul's questioning.. Wasnt expecting him to understand topics outside of hindutva propagandas.😂 Or may be some intern did the questionnaire 😅

Very excellent discussion with a brilliant and knowledgeable person who has good and constructive ideas.

Thanks India today...for bringing very informative interview ..hope more to come ..

Very interesting view points given and clarities given real sad part is opposition is not strong En country

You are great PC . Kanwal was practically roasted!!!

Amazing data based talk to me. Chidambaram. What a great clarity!

Sustaining a 8% growth rate mainly through manufacturing is virtually impossible unless de-forestation takes place on a gigantic scale by displacing tribals or ravaging our sea coasts- in short, by causing an ecological disaster. Other countries can grow at 8 % because of the low population to land ratio. India's growth strategy should consist of 2 planks- giving its scientific community the resources and the responsibilities of finding cost-effective solutions to the problems of affordable housing and health-care and providing urban facilities in rural areas that doctor Kalam was so passionate about.If India has the scientific brains to send spacecraft to the moon, it certainly has the brains to solve the common man's problems and design local technologies for small and medium enterprises. My vision of India is that of a large number of thriving small and medium enterprises serving the larger ones in India and abroad and colloborating with their counterparts in other countries.

You guys go and say to 140CR people "We're poor, we don't know anything, we're illiterates." then ask for votes

Ignorance stains the faces of everyone in this Government from top to bottom and their advisers. At least they must give an intelligent look 😂😂😂

Rahul Kanwal had raised incisive questions on many vital financial issues and challenges our country is currently facing , braving to counter the veteran lawyer politician with extensive experience in this field, and has succeeded in bringing out the best from PC many useful and thought provoking points.

Brilliant and well informed, succinctly put PC bravo! Sad to see such a talk has just 400 odd comments! Goes to show what we’ve become

Great interview with a brilliant economist.

Can he highlight some of his major achievements (comparable to what the present government has done) as the finance minister of the country.

Looking forward to an intellectual and we'll presented interview from Mr Chidambaram for whom I have immense respect

BJP has ambani and adani for handling our Finances😂😂

This is how a civil discussion is conducted and views are exchanged. Problem is we have demagoguery both by anchors and leaders and theatrics takes precedence over content.

Our former Finance Minister is a farmet. His income from farming is an example for tax payers 😅

I too agree........with P C

Om vanakam very good speaking sir 👏 🙏

Easy to say about say about Pandemic after the fact when it happened the system was not prepared all over the world. So to blame the Govt for this ridiculous. Listening to Chidambram is like he has answers to all . Give credit where it is due.

Excellent Discussion, Great analysis 💯

Profound wisdom, very good

Ask Chidambaram if he had ever dreamed or planned that india would be 3 largest economy. We wish he had given a vision then...when he was the finnances minister..Its easy to point fingers at the ruling party... The fact is indian citizens are going to give a befitting reply to the coalition I.N.D.I.A this election for sure.

we dont have any updated datas to plan the economy . even basic like census , manufacturing o/p , agri o/p

Most Brlliant and content rich interview Sir. He very clearly and most gently explained the truth behind every tall economic claims of this government. No tall leader in India can do this with ease and power Sir. We Wish you should come again as our leader Sir.

Our contribution in world GDP is just 3 %. UPA Era per capita income increased by 2.5 times and NDA Era 0.8 times

For rhe anchor to call P Chidambaram, sharpest mind in finance, is the JOKE OF THE DECADE.

When the wise (P Chidambaram) speak, knowledge spreads far and wide.

Pandemic was well handled by Modiji... If Congress would have been in power... Half of the country would have gone by then..

Pls listen to the comments of husband of our finance minister on present day economic management.

Mr Chidambaram was so articulate and patient with that interviewer punk!

The current dispensation at the centre might broke into tears hearing Chidambaram for they are defenceless against his moot points

I agree with the views of Mr.Chidambrum regarding growth

Great reply sir

I think people of Gujarat is weak in English but mostly interested in Business and now 4th biggest business to become politicians!🙏

Size of GDP matters because per capita income is GDP divided by population I am surprised Chidambram talks about GDP being not important when both are related. If GDP grows per capita inproves.Basic Mr. Chidambram

It's worth listening to you, Sir. Hope you will be our next finance minister.

Please google and convince yourself at the state of economic growth in the year 2013 when Chidambaram was the FM . It was an abysmal 4.1% and the rating agency had even threatened to down grade India. Bank frauds were at the highest. The economic scenario looked very brittle. This was the economic condition when BJP took over. 9 years of Modiji rule. India is now hastening to become the third largest economy. India is now becoming a super power. If the covid situation had occurred during 2013 the Indian economy would have been in the same position as 1991. Let us not go by parties BJP or congress. Go on the basisof performance . The present situation is at a take off stage

"India has lowest per capita income" said chidambaram. Thanks to scamgress for wasting 60 years. In 2014, it was mere 1500 , now it is 2600

Chidambaram sir the people of the country know what’s true so 😎

Sir Chidambaram ji, is the most influential, intellectual politician of all in the Indian history in politics,a head full of knowledge ❤

A Tight Slap to modi and Nirmala sitaraman 😂😂😂

India was infamous for not having proper washrooms for 80 rore an indians. Shame on u congress 😢

A very good interview with financial intelligent Hon'ble P Chidambaram.

salute to Sir Chidambaram

Mr Chidambaram unravelled the lies of Modi Govt with facts and figures ! 😊

Good Point, 9 years is quite good amount of time to show the viability of policies to show their efficiency.

Respected sir, small states will be good for administration as you said earlier, when you are going to bifurcate Tamilnadu like Andhra ?

Chidambaram was a disaster. Policy paralysis, unlimited corruption, Maino bootlicking, ineptitude, general sense of pessimism, the list goes on.

From fragile 5 economies to top 5 strongest economy we have come a long way

UPA era made FRAGILE FIVE economy with 12 lakh crore NPA. Now India is FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY with very minimum NPA.

Fools hate the wise. No matter what a person is, one must listen to the wise.

Each and every time bjp will say they will do will do they talk about 2047 3024 and also about 1900 ... but they don't talk about current situation... unintellectual persons in bjp government

First time, a decent man roast godi on his stage 😂😂

So Dr. Manmohan Shong has to take over economics of India.

if GDP increase is due to population lower per capita is due to higher population. Mr Chidambaram conveniently ignores the macro improvement. i can understand his situation

THE PRESENT BJP GOVT IS IMPLEMENTING 10% EWS QUOTA NOT BASED ON ECONOMIC CRETERIA, BUT ONLY IN THE NAME OF ECONOMIC CRITERIA. NOW MODI GOVT WON IN THE COURT WITH 3 JUDGES AGREEING AND 2 JUDGED SEVERLY OPPOSING IT. IF IT IS PURELY ON THE ECONOMIC CRITERIA, THE INCOME LIMIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 2 LAKH RUPEES PER YEAR INSTEAD OF 8 LAKHS AND FOR WHOLE POPULATION IRRESPECTIVE OF CASTE, CREED AND RELIGION. THE ULTIMATE MOTIVE OF THE BJP GOVT IS TO NULLIFY ALL THE RESERVATIONS GIVEN TILL NOW ALMOST TO ZERO LEVEL. THEY DON'T HAVE COURAGE TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF ALREADY PROVIDED RESERVATION CONSIDERING THE PROTEST FROM OBC, SC, ST, THOUGH THAT IS THEIR REAL OBJECTIVE. INSTEAD THEY ARE CLEVERLY COUNTERACTING WITH THE RESERVATION TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALANCE WITH A TOTAL NULLIFYING OR EVEN REVERSING EFFECT. NOW NOBODY CAN COMPLAIN AGAINST THE GOVT THAT THEY ARE REDUCING THE RESERVATION FOR THE OBC/SC/ST. THEY WILL ANSWER THAT THESE RESERVATIONS ARE KEPT INTACT. THIS METHOD IS DEVISED CONSIDERING THE POOR ANALYTICAL ABILITY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN PAST, ON THE SAME LOGIC BOFORS, PICKLE EXPORT CORRUPTION, 2G PROPOGANDA, COAL GATE, CWG, AADHARSH, NOTE BANDHI, GST, FARM BILL, LAND ACQUSITION BILL, PULWAMA, BALACOT, FIRST TIME COVID LOCK DOWN AND EVERYTHING WERE DONE. PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING WITH PROPER ANALYSIS ON ANYTHING IS VERY VERY POOR LIKE THE HERD OF GOATS AND SHEEPS. PUBLIC DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN ELECTIONS IS PURELY BASED ON PROPAGANDA MACHINERY POWER WITH MEDIA HELP, POWER OF CREATION A FALSE COUNTER NARRATIVE FOR EVERY TRUTH, MONEY POWER OF THE POLITICIAN, INFLUENTIAL POWER OF THE LOCAL GOONDAS, MUSCLE POWER AT GRASS ROOT LEVEL, CREATING RELIGIOUS ENMITY EMOTION ( now polished way called as "POLARIZE" ) AND ULTIMATELY THE SUPER POWER OF EVM BY 10%. BJP HAS ALL THESE POWERS ABUNDANTLY. SO, UNLESS THE AFFECTED PEOPLE BY THIS "GOVERNMENT OF ULTRA RICH" REALIZE THIS FACT THE COUNTRY WILL GO IN THIS WAY ONLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY 10 YEARS NEW GENERATION RAISE UP TO THE NEW ELECTION, THINGS WILL BECOME WORSE ONLY, BECAUSE THEIR VALUE SYSTEM IS JUST WHAT THEY LEARNT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THEY ATTAINED FRANCHISING POWER IS WORSE THAN A FEW YEARS BACK. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF INCREASING THE ENTROPY AND DECREASING THE ORDERLINESS. IT IS A HERCULEAN TASK TO FIX THIS. IT NEEDS A LOT OF DEVOTION TO THE PATH OF VIRTUE AND GREAT AMOUNT OF HARD WORK AND SACRIFICE.

Mr chidambaram is very knowledgeable person

If UPA was in power during pandemic, then Vaccine could not be developed and crore of Indian life could have been gone forever, Modiji save India during Pandemic fantastically. 2004-2013 time period regards as the LOST DECADE.

This is humility and words of a wise person - no ahankaar no drama no shouting like our present government- hopefully a few andhbhakt will remove their chashma.

A person who is out on bail for corruption is giving lessons on economy - This happens only in India 😂😂

When will he talk about the corruption and scams in UPA tenure?? In the entire interview he never spoke about anything hopeful or any achievements of India! Its like, we are there at 'lowest' point! That's the difference. Like his leader Rahul says, 'make in India is not possible' ! Now that everyone knows the truth about why in 91 economy had to be opened up, due to the IMF bailout requirements, what are any significant achievements of cong/ upa in last 30 years? They too spoke about great plans like aadhar etc. couldn't implement most plans!

Thanks PC for your greatest concern for 23 Crore Indians who are suffering due to abject poverty. Wishing squalor and hunger free India made possible by INDIA after next General elections.

best finance minister ever... best one to lead finance again.

Mr. Chidambaram's points make much more sense today because Modi's government is weakest economically. I wish we had a better FM than Ms. Sitaraman. She may have started shouting and making personal comments by now. I wish that Mr. Jaitley was alive; he had a much better mind to handle economics.

A corrupt man who caused his government to tumble down Is unashamedly given chance to criticise an honest government. It’s a shame that our people do not mind criminals talking and challenging the government. It is a sad situation that this criminal is allowed to air his views😊

Vintage @pchidambaram @ his devastating best 😅❤🎉 The host was roasted.. 😂

How can we expect a biasfree viewport from someone hounded for corruption charges? His views may be of interest in the sense that it's good sometimes to see how a negative portrayal looks like.

To hide all those things bjp wants hindutuva in hands to divide and make forget all the issues.....because modi knows that economy is more important to Indians than religious aspects

RAHUL GANDHI NEXT PM , RAHUL GANDHI HUMBLE SIMPLE, ABLE NOBLE AND EDUCATED, INDIA NEED EDUCATED PM, VOTE FOR CONGRESS, VOTE FOR INDIA .

Great interview. Only thing I was looking for- mention how we are creating the rich few

As an individual, I really adore this man. Extremely learned, educated and smart personality. Salute to his awareness on socio-economic condition of India. ' govt handling on job creation is terrible' so true. This ruling govt has just put the country's gdp on toss severely

Ruchir Sharma said that the difference between india's growth rate and avg global growth rate has never touched 3 percent, so absolute growth rate is not possible at this point, but currently the difference is above 3 percent.

The Nation is indebt to Chidambaram.

Excellent explanation. .....

Between 1993 and 2003 the economy increased/ grew by 25 lakh crores and the illustrious former Finance Minister is asking for increase of 100 lakh crores 😅 For a big country like india with population of 140 crores, per capita income will continue to be lower than countries with 8 crore population. India's P.P.P. (Purchase Power Parity) is already at the third place in the world

When Chidambaram was FM,the defence minister said we don't have money to buy Rafale...such was the condition of finance ......now he is giving advice on financial policies...bit bizarre

Chidambaram can say anything sitting over there... Thank God BJP handled the COVID time well; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

Chidambaram, an economic power house
