Note Ban aimed at cleaning economy, people’s sacrifices will not go in vain: Modi

TIL Desk/National/Agra/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the demonetisation move was highly appreciated by poor people, who despite facing difficulties had supported the government. “Demonetisation was highly appreciated by poor people, despite facing difficulties they supported us. I had said that inconvenience is going to happen, but I want to commend people who, despite all that, are supporting us,” PM Modi said addressing ‘parivartan rally’.

He added, “I can assure you all that your sacrifice won’t go in vain. I did the ban move not to agonise anyone but to clean our economy and secure the future of our youth.”

In an apparent dig at West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, PM Modi said, “I know what kind of people are raising their voice against me. The country knows whose money is invested in chit fund and they are the most affected by it. Lakhs of people deposited money in chit fund schemes and due to certain leaders crores of rupees vanished. Guardians of hundreds families had to commit suicide due to the chit fund scheme.”

He also hit out at the Congress saying governments in the past 70 years kept quiet on black money because they were worried about losing power.
