NEW DELHI: Breaking his silence on criticism by fellow party leader Yashwant Sinha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today hit back calling him a job applicant at 80 years who has forgotten his record as Finance Minister and is commenting on persons rather than policies.
He accused Sinha of acting in tandem with senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, forgetting the harsh words the two had used for each other.
At a book release function, Jaitley refrained from taking Sinha’s name but said he does not have the luxury as yet of being a former Finance Minister nor does he have the luxury of being a former Finance Minister who has turned a columnist.
The first reference was for Sinha and the second one for Chidambaram, who rode on the BJP leader’s criticism to assail Jaitley and the Government’s handling of the economy post demonetisation and transitionary impact caused by GST. (AGENCIES)
