New Delhi sources have stated that Former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for "distorting and deflecting the debate on employment". Meanwhile the Congress leader said he empathized with all those who aspire for a regular job. "A young man who sells 'pakodas' (fritters) is honorably self-employed but poor and aspiration. Ask him and he will tell you that he aspires for a regular and secure job and empathized with him".



He said "BJP should not distort and deflect the debate on jobs. The party should tell us how many regular jobs were created in the last three years". Meanwhile Chidambaram's remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an interview to a news channel last week said "If a person selling 'pakodas' earns Rs 200 at the end of the day, will it be considered employment or not?"

Moreover Chidambaram also slammed the Central government saying "BJP is the master of distortion and deception". PM said "Even selling 'pakodas' is a 'job'. Further by that logic, even begging is a job. Let's count poor or disabled persons who are forced to beg for a living as 'employed' people". He also said "Selling 'pakodas' is honorable self-employment for the poor but that cannot be count".
