Will continue to target Chidambaram,says BJP

This verdict is not going to change the corrupt image of this government. Neither are we going to bring down the intensity of our campaign against this corrupt government. The issue of political accountability of Chidambaram remains as alive as ever, he said.

We will raise this matter in Parliament and also with the people outside, he said.

Prasad said the order of the trial court was not the final word on the issue in any case. This is the decision of a lower court which would be appealed. The High Court is there,the Supreme Court is there. This is not over, he said. We cannot lose sight of the fact that the Supreme Court has cancelled 122 licences because it was a scam and there was corruption. The licences were allotted arbitrarily and through manipulation, he said.

We are very clear that there is enough evidence against Chidambaram in public domain8230;. The BJP shall continue to pursue the matter before the people of the country. The nation seeks a reply, he said.

Senior party leader Jaswant Singh agreed that Saturdays order was disappointing for the party but said this was not the end of the story.

But nobody in this government is still ready to answer on the loss of moral authority and credibility they have suffered, he said.
