Endorse demonetisation completely: BJP MP

December 20, 2016 15:46

Swapan Dasgupta clarifies his tweet: Pointing out a misstep does not in any way diminish my complete endorsement of demonitisation. Trolls can look elsewhere for sceptics.

Dasgupta had tweeted earlier today saying, "New caveats on depositing old notes till Dec 30 were unnecessary & will undermine people's faith in govt assurances. A terrible last move."

This comes after the RBI on Monday said that deposits totaling more than Rs 5,000 in old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes can be made only once per account until December 30.
