Why do we need unelected ‘so-called experts’ to run crucial ministries: Chidambaram’s dig at Vaishnaw

“Why do we need unelected so-called experts to run crucial ministries,” Congress leader P Chidambaram asked on Tuesday in an apparent swipe at Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw over the Odisha rail tragedy and the alleged CoWIN data breach. The senior Congress leader also said he was “appalled” by revelations about how Vaishnaw, who is the minister for Railways, Communications and Electronics and Information Technology, runs his ministries.
