P Chidambaram Takes Dig On Economy Says May God Bless This Country

Mumbai: Former finance minister P Chidambaram who is in Tihar Jail took a dig on the current economic situation in the country.

Asking his family to tweet on his behalf, Chidambaram said, “My thoughts today are about the economy. Just one statistic tells the story. Export growth in August was -6.05 percent. No country has achieved GDP growth of 8 percent without exports growing at 20 percent a year,” he is reminded that he is 74-years-old but at heart, he feels 74-years-young.

“May God bless this country,” read the subsequent tweet.

Chidambaram, who turned a year older said that he feels “74-years-young at heart” and that his spirits have been lifted higher.

“I have asked my family to tweet on my behalf the following: My family have brought me greetings from friends, party colleagues, and well-wishers. I am reminded that I am 74 years old. Indeed I am, but at heart, I feel 74 years young. Thank you all, my spirits have been lifted higher,” his family tweeted from his official handle.
