Modi has created more havoc than Hitler: Mamata

November 24, 2016 16:05

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee tells ANI: "You (Narendra Modi) couldn't recover Swiss bank black money, but created inconvenience for those with white money."

"You've created more havoc than Hitler."

She also accused the Prime minster of running a "Tuglaqi trade" and not allowing people to withdraw money.

She said that wage labourers and jute workers are facing the brunt of the demonetisation drive.

"Wage earners who work in tea gardens are adversely affected, their payments are on hold. In many villages there aren't any post offices or banks. When we came in 2011 there were about 700 areas where there were no banks, no post offices," she said.

"What is the government doing? It is discriminating, there is a need to raise a voice against this," she added.

She further said that the government's decision to demonetise Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes has severely crippled the agricultural sector.
