Rendezvous with SImi Garewal - P CHIDAMBARAM (1998)

He has the austerity and simplicity associated with many South Indian Tamils. An exceptional clarity of mind, a clear world view; he is also self-possessed and urbane.
For a republic bidding to become a full member of the global marketplace - the arrival of P. Chidambaram as Finance Minister generated a national upsurge of hope & confidence.
Tonight we’re going to meet not just the architect of India’s economy - but also Palanniappan Chidambaram, the man.

[@AravindanUmashankar]

I wish Indian has him back at the North Block for another term soon !

[@victor256in]

He may end up in Tihar jail, a few miles from North Block, given all the scams that happened during his UPA 1 and 2 tenures.

[@srikrishnans6489]

To totally damage India?

[@madhuvasupalli8545]

He is honourable but the CBI case is just stopping me to respect him.

[@nishantdsouza]

He says the indian education system is "by rote learning". What did he do after being such a senior leader in UPA about education system.

[@cgbabybaby4384]

He is a capable man to lead the country like Rajiv Gandhi but sorry to say I modi era only anguda chap is more than enough.

[@georgedmello6028]

[@sakshiarya9904]

And time tells what a liar one can be...he should be given a movie role after his jail stint

[@pratheepm2546]

Next CM

[@SHARAD9930]

I had seen this interview in 1998. I was a big big fan of his. I wanted him as a Finance Minister for 10 years and then to be our PM for another ten years. Sadly this brilliant , intelligent and articulate man cheated me , cheated my India and turned out to be one of the biggest Crooks in modern India.

[@akisjohn9280]

If it were not India this despicable fellow Chidambaram will rot in jail for decades. Yak… morally, ethically corrupt fellow

[@armstrong2450]

What an expert lier.
