Chennai: Finance Minister P Chidambaram launched an attack on BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, calling him a "compulsive liar" and an "encounter Chief Minister".
"Mr Modi is a compulsive liar. There was no re-count in Sivaganga. He knows that. Yet he lies. If he insists on calling me Recounting Minister, I can call him Encounter Chief Minister," he reacted on Modi repeatedly calling him "recounting minister".
The minister made his reference to the spate of alleged fake encounters that occurred in Gujarat under Modi rule.
Chidambaram won the 2009 Lok Sabha election from Sivaganga constituency in Tamil Nadu by a margin of about 3,500 votes and the counting process was mired in controversy. Modi has been referring to Chidamabaram as "recounting minister" in his election rallies.
