P. Chidambaram vs Narendra Modi

Rashmun wrote:In my opinion the Congress should declare Chidambaram as their prime ministerial candidate for 2014. He is one man who can take on Modi effectively. Also, I don't buy this 'spiki no Hindi' argument. Jinnah had very poor knowledge and command over Urdu and yet he was able to win over a large section of Muslims.

Geez.... please learn something PC.

The guy cannot win an election from any constituency even in TN on his own. Oh...may be he is the ideal replacement for the present PM who has never been elected.

PC is an arrogant guy with tons of allegations on his son.

Jinnah was thought to be savior by Muslims. The illiterate Muslim did not care whether Jinnah knew Urdu or not. They supported him because he was going to fight with Hindus and Britishers to get them their Pakistan. That is the only thing which mattered to them.

Talking about Hindi, remember Deva Gowda and Abdul Kalam had to promise Mulayam that they will learn Hindi in six months.

Chidambaram knows Hindi. He has even spoken in bhojpuri (Hindi dialect) in parliament.

“Hum rauwa sabke bhavna samjhatani” (I understand the sentiments of all), said Chidambaram — reading out the sentence in Bhojpuri that had been written in the roman script by fellow Congress member Sanjay Nirupam
