Modi has staged fake encounter with facts: Chidambaram

Sivaganga (TN): Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Sunday said that Gujarat Chief Minister staged a “fake encounter” with facts on the issue and that there was never a recount in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections in his constituency here.
“The fact is that in the 2009 elections from Sivaganga Parliamentary constituency the votes were counted only once. There was no recount. In fact, the complaint of the defeated candidate is that his belated request for recount was rejected by the Returning Office.

“Everybody (except Mr Modi) knows this fact. I am sure he will stage more fake encounters with facts and entertain people,” Chidambaram said.
The minister plans to issue a detailed statement tomorrow with facts and figures on Modi’s criticism about him on the handling of the economy and the current situation.
