New Delhi, Dec 4: Shortly after senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was granted bail, the BJP on Wednesday took a dig at the principal opposition party and said the former Union Minister also joined the long list of “OOBC (Out On Bail Club)”.
“So finally Chidambaram too joins the long list of “OOBC (Out On Bail Club)” in the Congress. He joins the coveted Club, some members of which are: Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Robert Vadra, Motilal Vohra, Bhupinder Hooda, Shashi Tharoor Etc Etc,” tweeted BJP spokesman Sambit Patra.
The Supreme Court, earlier in the day, granted bail to former finance minister Mr Chidambaram in the INX media money laundering case.

A number of Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi and son and MP Rahul are on bail on different cases.
