Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address as “disappointing”, while also accusing him of “cheating” people.
Kejriwal claimed that “not a single penny” of black money was recovered and there was no reduction in corruption due to demonetisation. He also hit out at the prime minister for “not offering any relief” to the people suffering due to demonetisation.
In a series of tweets, Kejriwal said, “
“Prime Minister’s boring speech was heard patiently by the people in the hope that he will announce when can they withdraw their own money without restriction. In the end, they were disappointed.”

“Modi’s speech was not about demonetisation, but about election. He tried to bribe the people of India who are angry with him by giving them sops,” he said.
