Congress disturbed with overwhelming support on demonetisation: Venkaiah Naidu

Besides the poor and common people, the demonetisation move had severed affected the small industries sector with almost 50 per cent of garment units in Tirupur remained shut.

“Rahul Gandhi’s statement will remain statements only, they will not have any impact on the people”, Sinha said.

Asking party workers to “work without fear”, he said, “Congress will stand with people and defeat the ideology of Narendra Modi and RSS that spreads anger and hate”.

He demanded that the Modi government release in Parliament the list of names of those who hold black money in Swiss banks.

Gandhi raked up allegations of personal corruption against Modi. He purchases in cash. Sheila ji is ready for probe’.

Rahul Gandhi by his smile and body language today clearly “indicated” that there is not much of black money in the country, Naidu said.

Gandhi presided over the function which was attended by senior party leaders at 24 Akbar Road, its official headquarters. It is also a fact that her presence is also aimed at creating fissures between the Congress and the Left parties which have been working in tandem ever since they joined hands in contesting the last West Bengal assembly elections as allies. The manner in which he has been shouting from rooftops without a shred of concrete evidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is personally corrupt, has evidently not gone down well with people at large. “Farmers, labourers and common men are paying a price for demonetisation”, he said.

She said the country’s “banking system” has been destroyed by the demonetisation move. “Did you get the money?”, he asked. “This has been a complete failure on part of the government”, Gandhi said.

He further said that demonetization “yagna” is aimed at benefiting the rich.

Accusing the Congress of making things dirty, Sinha said that people will wipe out the Congress for such politics.

“Farmers are committing suicide; the governments – both at the Centre and the state – have done nothing for the farmers”.

The Congress also demanded that the number of guaranteed work days and the wage rate under the MGNREGA should be doubled for a period of one year. Find us on Facebook too!
