Congress alleged that the demonetisation drive did not help common man but only a few “crony capitalist friends of PM Modi”.
New Delhi| The second anniversary of Demonetisation has activated the political circle. While Finance Minister Arun Jaitley wrote a blog listing the impact of the move, the opposition has geared up to attack the government.
On Thursday, the Congress party criticised PM Modi’s decision of Demonetising the currency of rupees 500 and rupees 1000 denomination, calling it a ‘black day for Indian democracy and economy’. Attacking PM Modi, the party alleged that the demonetisation drive did not help common man but only a few “crony capitalist friends of PM Modi”.

Slamming the Modi government, Congress leader Manish Tewari said that 730 days later, Prime Minister should apologise to the nation for the failure of Demonetisation. “…@narendramodi 730 days later don’t you think you should stand up at 8 PM today evening and just apologise to the nation. After all, it is but human to err- It is another matter that over 100 people died due to it,” tweeted the leader.
We of course are not going to do that!For we are civilised. However @narendramodi 730 days later don’t you think you should stand up at 8 PM today evening and just apologise to the nation.

Congress leader Ahmed Patel called Demonetisation as a disaster. Terming it a ‘black day’ in history, he urged the voters to “never forget notebandi” while casting vote for next general elections. “Two years ago, a disaster struck India’s economy. So much so that the PM has now stopped speaking about demonetisation after ruining lives of ordinary citizens. History will remember this day as a black day. When you cast your vote for Lok Sabha-never forget notebandi,” tweeted Patel.
The Congress party is set to observe a ‘black day’ across the country on the second anniversary of noteban.
