Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu said problems caused by demonetisation are “easing out” and the move will eventually benefit the nation. This comes days after he said the decision was not as per “our wish” and that he had to “break his head” to find solutions.
Naidu, who heads the 13-member committee formed by the Centre to look into note ban-related issues, during his Delhi visit yesterday he said that as more and more cash is coming and Rs 500 currency note is in circulation, naturally, it will ease out.
Days after he said the decision was not as per “our wish” and that he had to “break his head” to find solutions, he asserted that the problems are there temporarily.
It may be recalled that last week at his party’s workshop, he deplored that “I am breaking my head daily but we are unable to find a solution to this problem.” However, a day later, he claimed that his comments were “distorted” but acknowledged that currency problems continued.
On apprehensions about cyber security as the Centre pitches for turning the country into a less-cash economy, stressing more on digital transactions, he sought to allay apprehensions over cyber security, saying the country is “very strong” in the sphere and information technology.
Naidu said “all over the world” countries are following digital economy. “We are very strong in cyber security and also in information technology. Our people are heading Google, Microsoft. That is the calibre India has,” he said.
