'Big black money players have been allowed to go scot free by PM'

November 15, 2016 21:07

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi stepped up the ante against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government's decision to demonetise the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.

Briefing the media in Mumbai, he said, "Decision that was taken was not thought through, it was based on one person's thinking. The big black money players have been allowed to go scot free by PM. Mallya and Lalit Modi are sitting abroad."

He also said that he could not see any big players standing in line outside banks and it was only the poor that were being inconvenienced by this move.

The Congress VP added that couple of days back, PM was laughing in his speech, then next day he was crying. He should decide what he wants to do.

Gandhi further said that economists with whom he had discussed the new move said that there was no economic rational behind this decision.
