New Delhi, Oct 30 (IBNS) Former finance minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram has slammed Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) president Amit Shah for his "firecrackers" remark saying, "if BJP loses in Bihar, there will be celebrations and relief among many others - writers, scientists, historians and moderate citizens."

His reaction comes  after the BJP president on Thursday said there will be bursting of fire crackers in Pakistan if his party loses Bihar assembly elections. 

Addressing an election rally in Bihar, Shah asked the people  if they wanted crackers to go off in Pakistan while appealing to them to vote for the BJP-led NDA.

Criticising Shah, Janata Dal United leader KC Tyagi said the BJP President has  has insulted the people of Bihar through his comment. "He knows that if the BJP doesn't win the elections - he will have to answer. Therefore, to save himself the embarrassment he's saying these things," Tyagi said.
