West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday slammed the BJP-led central government over the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to withdraw 🐓Rs 2,000 currency notes from circulation, describing it as “another whimsical and Tughlaqi demonetisation drama”.
༒She also said the move by the apex bank would "hit common people hard once again";.
Banerjee lambasted the Centre for the decision, alleging that such “imperious measures” are meant to “camouf🌳lage the fundamentally anti-people and crony capitalist na🎶ture of this regime”.
Taking to Twitter the TMC supremo said, “Another whimsical and Tughlaqi demonetisatio💮n drama of Rs 2,000 notes will hit the common people hard once again by subjecting them to massive harassment. These imperious measures are meant to camouflage the fundamentally anti-people & 💟crony capitalist nature of this regime.”
“Such misadventure by an oligarchic & authoritarian government will not be forgotten by the people at large at the time of reckon🐓ing,” she said🃏.
Unlike the November 2016 shock demonetisation when old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes were invalidate♏d overnight, the Rs 2,000 notes will continue to be legal tender till September 30, the𒅌 RBI said on Friday.
Banerjee had opposed the Centre's decision of demo❀netisation in 2016.
