He said that ‘Government cannot solve the problem of unemployment’. Shocking. If that is the official stand of the BJP government, we must boldly tell the BJP ‘vacate your seat’,” he said.The Congress has a concrete plan to tackle the issue of unemployment and it will be revealed in its manifesto, Chidambaram said.The Congress has been attacking the government on issues of price rise and unemployment and has held it responsible for people’s problems.
