PM Modi Cured India of Black Money Cancer: Shah

TIL Desk/National/Chandigarh/ Defending the central government’s demonetisation decision, BJP President Amit Shah said that the “bold” move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hit terror outfits hard, leaving them penniless.

Addressing a rally of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) booth-level leaders here on Sunday, Shah said the same people from opposition parties who used to demand that the Modi government should take action against black money, are now opposing the demonetisation move. “It looks that they (opposition parties) have lost a lot (after the demonetisation),” Shah said.

“The demonetisation move has given a hard blow to terrorism. The terror organisations have been left penniless,” Shah said.

He said that the country needed a surgery to cure it from the cancer of black money and the Modi government has done that.

In an oblique attack on the Congress and its leadership, Shah said it is the BJP which has an ideology and works for welfare of people with a focused target. “We link people with the ideology of BJP,” he said.

“I ask the media, can you say who will be the next President of Congress? Of course, it will be Rahul Gandhi. If any child is born in their family in future, he will be the Congress President in coming years.”
