The BJP on Wednesday alleged that home minister P Chidambaram's statement on price rise has exposed fissures in the Union Cabinet and the Congress, whose leaders and ministers speak in different voices on the same issue.
"P Chidambaram was removed from the post of finance minister and moved to the home ministry. He says price rise is a tax on the people.
"Congress is only paying lip service on the issue of price rise. Chidambaram's inner conflict shows the differences in the Cabinet," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters in New Delhi.
He took a dig at Chidambaram, saying he was the first home minister to comment on price rise.
BJP alleged that there were fissures within the Congress as party leaders speak in different voices on the same issue.
"Congress is divided on all issues. Digvijay Singh says something while Janardhan Dwivedi says something else on the same issue. Chidambaram is perhaps thinking he could have done something about price rise had he been the finance minister today," Hussain said.
He said Pranab Mukherjee comments that had the prime minister sought his advice he would not have suggested that the he make an offer to appear before the Public Accounts Committee shows Manmohan Singh has no control over his cabinet.
"That the prime minister's offer was rejected by the finance minister shows that he has no control over his Cabinet," Hussain said.
On media reports that Chidambaram had in a letter warned the prime minister about possibility of anomalies taking place in 2G Spectrum allocation, Hussain said this reinforces the BJP stand that only a JPC can probe all aspects of the scam.
"Only a JPC can ask for these letters to be presented and summon the people concerned," Hussain said.
