Congress on back foot after Chidambaram's statement, BJP said - their party has no future

The BJP on Friday took a dig at Congress leader P Chidambaram's remarks on the opposition alliance INDIA. The BJP said that even Rahul Gandhi's close aides know that the Congress has no future. In fact, Chidambaram had expressed concern over the opposition alliance on Thursday and said that he was not sure that the alliance was still intact.
