The Communist Party of India-Marxist today claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party was aware of the Centre's decision to demonetise currency of higher value in advance, while ruing that the move has affected the partys campaigning ahead of by-polls in few seats in West Bengal.

"The BJP's Bengal unit had deposited an amount of Rs 1 crore in a Kolkata bank, hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement on Tuesday night.

"The move has certainly affected our campaigning in terms of expenditure. Workers are facing trouble in procuring election material at the grassroots level," senior party leader Rabin Deb told a press conference in New Delhi.
