Union Minister P Chidambaram sharply condemned Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi’s assertion that there is “no need for secularism in India.”

In response, Congress leader P Chidambaram dismissed BJP's claims as baseless, stating that Katchatheevu was neither acquired nor ceded according to the BJP government's earlier stance.

P Chidambaram stated that although the Finance Minister talked about "minimum government" and "maximum governance," in practice, "minimum government" has weakened federalism.

Chidambaram said, “Indian economy is not growing fast. An economy that does not control prices and does not create employment cannot be considered a developed economy. My opinion is that there should be a change of government once in 10 years. That is a good thing. Be it the Congress party. So it is your duty to answer the BJP and send it home.”
