IMPHAL | Nov 9

If the poor people were affected by demonetisation, they would have come out on the streets and taken up certain agitation. It is certain that the Congress party was greatly affected by it, said Rajya Sabha MP, Ksh. Bhabananda.

The MP, who is also the state unit president of the BJP was addressing a gathering at Niytaipat Chuthek party office following a rally which was conducted in connection with the four-day observation of national wide “Anti-Black Money Day (Kala Dhan Virodhi Diwas)” which ends today.   

The rally was flagged off from Shumang Leela Shanglen, Palace Compound Imphal and culminated at the BJP state office, Nitaipat Chuthek. 

Bhabananda who also took part in the rally said demonetisation does not give any affect to the poor it only affected the rich people who are using black money. The president said that according to expert economist the country’s economy will grow by the year 2018.  

Works minister, Th. Biswajit who was also present in the gathering lambasted the previous Congress government stating that it was a regime of scam and not for the people.  

The minister said that demonetisation of Rs. 500 and 1,000 notes last year was a risky and a bold step taken up the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to eradicate black money and black business from the country.

There are a lot of advantages of demonitisation and the disadvantages are only standing in a long queue in bank to deposit money and expenditure in printing the new currency, added Biswajit.

The minister claimed that the previous Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh did not take up any action to investigate the black money circulating in the country as it was bound to give a negative impact to the Congress party. 

Stating that there are many resources in the state which can bring about economical developmental in the state, the minister asked, “Why the previous government had not taken up any process to utilise the resources in rightful ways?”

He said that the current government under the leadership of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is working at its best level to uplift the poor with the ideology of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”.
