New Delhi: Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday hit out at the government and accused it of steering a jobless growth, questioning if its policies are in favour of the rich. Taking part in a short discussion on the economic situation in the country, the senior Congress leader said despite India becoming a large economy, growing at the fastest rate in the world with the largest FDI inflows, the growth is not seen on the ground. He said India’s worker population rate -- the number of workers to the total population -- is 46 per cent, which is quite low, but acceptable given the various circumstances in the country.
