It seems that the war of words between BJP and Congress leaders are not going down anytime soon. Replying to the Congress leader Chidambaram jibe at Modi that If seeling Pakauda is a job then begging too is, BJP said that the Congress has insulted “poor Indians”.
“Prime Minister Modi respects poor people who work hard to earn their livelihood. Congress and P Chidambaram make fun of them,” said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, returning the barb.

5. Even selling pakodas is a ‘job’ said PM. By that logic, even begging is a job. Let’s count poor or disabled persons who are forced to beg for a living as ’employed’ people.

He further claimed that Congress always treated people as just voters bloc, whereas BJP is trying to create jobs for the unemployed youth of India.
But later Chidambaram softened his stand and said that though selling Pakauda can be considered as self-employment it cannot be counted as a job.
1. BJP is the master of distortion and deception. Selling pakodas is honourable self-employment for the poor but that cannot be counted as a job.

2. Ask the young men who staged a protest in Bengaluru the difference between self-employment and jobs. Those young men want regular jobs.
