Nothing the Govt will do in next 60 days will alter status of economy: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Jan 18 (UNI) Amid reports that the NDA Government could announce a big package for the farmers in the coming vote on account, senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Friday said that nothing that the Government will do in the next 60 days would alter the status of the economy.
Talking to reporters here, Mr Chidambaram, reacting to reports that the government might make some major announcements in the vote on account, scheduled to be presented in Lok Sabha on February 1, said that though traditionally no major decision has ever been announced from the Vote on Account, the present government was known to set its own precedents.
‘’ We don’t expect anything more good from this Government. This is the countdown to the elections. Nothing the Government will do in the next 60 days which will alter the status of the economy. The state of the economy is quite perilous. Every indicator is worrisome,’’Mr Chidambaram said.
