| The Narendra Modi government has advertised its work better though it has only renamed the previous UPA government's policies, former finance minister P Chidambaram today said.
"We didn't trumpet our achievements as well or as cleverly like this Government does. We have to acknowledge they have advertised their work better," he said.
"Best flattery is imitation. I am very happy that NDA is following UPA policies," he quipped.
Mr Chidambaram, one of the seniormost ministers in the Congress-led government, addressed the press conference in response to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's briefing on Friday to mark one year of the Modi government.
He took on Prime Minister Modi on his comments in Shanghai, China, about Indians being ashamed to have been born in India.
"I was born many years ago. I was not ashamed to be born in India. I asked many people - have they been ashamed to have been born in India. If anyone born before May 26, 2014 was ashamed to be born in India, let them ask me a question...," Mr Chidambaram remarked.
The PM had said, "Earlier, you felt ashamed of being born Indian. Now you feel proud to represent the country. Indians abroad had all hoped for a change in government last year
