Taking a jibe at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over her “act of God” remark, former Union Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday i.e. 29th August mocked by calling her “the messenger of God” and asked how should the “mismanagement of the economy before the pandemic” be described.
Chidambaram tweeted, “If the pandemic is an ‘Act of God’, how do we describe the mismanagement of the economy during 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 BEFORE the pandemic struck India? Will the Finance Minister as the Messenger of God please answer?”

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated “This year we are facing an extraordinary situation. We are facing an act of God where we may even see a contraction of the economy,” his response comes a day after.
