The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday took a pot shot at P Chidambaram, a day after the Union Minister opted out of the Lok Sabha election.
BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said that Chidambaram, who is not contesting the upcoming crucial polls, is not facing the electorate and running away from them.
On Thursday, Chidambaram opted out of the Lok Sabha election with the party nominating his son Karthi from his constituency Sivaganga in Tamil Nadu.
Soon after the announcement, Karti said, “My father has contested nine elections and thought it is time to give way. He is definitely not retiring from politics.”
