Chavan attacks Modi over demonetisation
Congress leader and former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Monday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and blamed him by saying he pushed the Indian economy in danger by taking wrong decisions.
Congress celebrated November 12 as a black day for completing two years of note ban decision. “Note ban decision was taken without any planning which affected 80 per cent population of the country. All the financial magazines at global level criticised this decision,” said Chavan.
Even RBI’s recent annual report put all the facts in front of citizens and clarified that it was a shock to the Indian economy. Chavan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attacking on various institutions like Judiciary, Central bureau of investigation (CBI), Central vigilance committee which is wrong.He demanded that central government should announce the minutes of board directors while taking the note ban decision.
Chavan blamed the government saying Modi regime wants to pull ₹3 lakh crore money from the Reserve bank of India (RBI) and there is a cold war going on for it between the government and RBI. There are chances that in next few days RBI governor might quit the job or allow government to pull money from RBI.
Chavan appealed that the government should appoint joint parliament committee in Rafel case. The Rafeal case is pending with Supreme court. Chavan said that Ideally the government should declare Rafeal prices to the public . France government did not have problem in it then why is BJP worrying about it.
