(Demonetisation debate) Derek O'Brien of Trinamool Congress says:

* Demonetisation move is 'disastrous and chaotic'. This is an ill-conceived blow to common man

* If you had to keep it secret, what prevented you from printing more Rs 100 notes?

* Secrecy can't be your excuse for putting people through pain

* What are you doing about electoral reforms? 80% donations to parties are from unknown sources

* PM ran a poll and said 92% of people are happy, want to know where are these happy people, who are these people

* It's no longer 1 or 2 people, it's 16 opposition parties here. It's the voice of the people.

* There is anger among people against demonetisation, entire opposition has united against it.

* Different people have reacted differently since the announcement was made

* Some people who were part of the announcement, have quoted Bob Dylan

* They have also done polls on their mobile app to say 93% agree with them
