New Delhi: On the fifth anniversary of demonetisation, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra posed a volley of questions to the BJP and termed it a disaster and asked if the step has been successful, why hasn’t corruption ended and black money returned to the country.

  • अगर नोटबंदी सफल थी तो

    भ्रष्टाचार खत्म क्यों नहीं हुआ?
    कालाधन वापस क्यों नहीं आया?
    अर्थव्यवस्था कैशलेस क्यों नहीं हुई?
    आतंकवाद पर चोट क्यों नहीं हुई?
    महंगाई पर अंकुश क्यों नहीं लगा?#DemonetisationDisaster

On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on national television his government’s decision to ban all currency notes of higher denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 from midnight on the same day.

”If demonetisation was successful, why hasn’t corruption ended? Why hasn’t black money come back? Why hasn’t the economy gone cashless? Why hasn’t price rise been reined in?” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag ‘DemonetisationDisaster’.
