Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said the Central government should celebrate the "centenaries" just like it did for 100 crore COVID vaccinations.

He should also lead by example in celebrating other centenaries: Petrol crossed Rs 100 per litre a few weeks ago and now Diesel has crossed Re 100 per litre. When gas cylinder crosses Rs 1,000 per cylinder, there will be another opportunity to celebrate."
