P. Chidambaram was addressing the plenary session in New Delhi.
Former finance minister and Congress senior leader P Chidambaram on Sunday took a dig at the reserve Bank of India officials over the counting of demonetization money.
Chidambaram was addressing the plenary session in New Delhi.
Chidambaram said, "I would like to tell the RBI officials why don't you go to Hundi collectors in Tirupati? They count money faster than you".
He took a dig at the RBI over the counting of note has not been done yet after an year of demonetization.
Meanwhile, at the party's plenary on Saturday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi lambasted the Modi government for rendering the country's youth tired on account of rising unemployment and farmers' distress and emphasised that only his party can show the way forward.
"Crores of country's youth are feeling tired today. When they look towards Modi, they are unable to see a way forward. They do not know from where will they get employment, when will farmers get proper price for their crops. The country is in a way tired, is seeking a way out. And I say from my heart that only the Congress can show the path to the country," said Gandhi reflecting party's broad strategy to counter the Modi government in 2019 polls.
"The aim of plenary is to show the path forward to the Congress and the country. It is talking of the future and of change," added Gandhi amid cheers from Congress workers that arrived from all the states.
To the solace of elder leaders, Gandhi made clear that change does not mean letting go the seniors and he would be acting as a bridge to connect them with the young leaders.
"The youth can take the Congress forward but not without the experience of senior leaders. My work is to connect the two and show the new way," he said.
In the brief address, his first as the President at Congress plenary, Gandhi emphasised that the BJP was using "anger" to play "divisive politics" and said that his party's would never do so but counter it by using "love and regard to fellow humans".
