BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi said Chidambaram's acknowledgement in a media interview yesterday that Modi has united the rank and file shows he has accepted the fact that the Gujarat Chief Minister is a "unifying force".
However, the main opposition is miffed at Chidambaram's views in an interview to Reuters that the party leaders are still divided. BJP also maintained that it would be a gross exaggeration to say that Modi will win in every state.
BJP attacked Chidambaram for the "massive unemployment" in the country and other economic issues as well as for his role as Home Minister, where the main opposition alleged that the affidavit of Ishrat Jahan was changed during his tenure.
"BJP is very concerned about the massive unemployment problem faced by tens of millions of young people in the country today. Over the last nine years, the UPA government has not initiated a single large infrastructure project that could create jobs on the scale required by the 2001 census," Lekhi said.
"The crisis that the country is going through is a symptom of the bad policies of UPA," Lekhi said.
