Modi is a challenger for Cong: Chidambaram

The minister noted that Rahul Gandhi has been addressing various public rallies.

“But if I was advising him (Rahul), I would have advised him to spell out his views on various major issues (in the rallies),” he said.

When questioned why Congress leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have not been commenting on major issues, the Finance Minister said, “PM does address audience and addresses press conferences, although it is not as much as I expect him to do.”

“You can agree or disagree with what he speaks but certainly he speaks,” Chidambaram said.
