Demonetisation has taken its toll on many. One of these is BSP chief Mayawati. She made a snide remark on the UPA government that the decision of demonetisation was a move by the government made for political gains. She also was quick at saying that the reason for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s absence in the cabinet was that he was scared to face the questions of the opposition party. She said to the PTI that the demonetisation drive has brought nothing but the situation of Emergency in the country causing discomfort to the citizens.
She also made remarks like,“Leaving his home for the nation was a matter to be appreciated but that doesn’t mean that he would annoy the people of the country.” She also added that the Prime Minister was blackmailing people by shedding tears, in reference to the Mr Modi’s emotional speech in Goa, where he teared up. She also blamed him for leaking the news of demonetisation to the BJP leaders because they appear tension-free and are dealing with peace. She added, “If there were to be riots in the country because of the demonetisation move only Modi would be responsible for it.”
