Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been avoiding to hear voices of the opposition members and respond to their concern in the Parliament, today has indicated that many more drastic steps are likely to be followed. Addressing BJP Parliamentary Party meeting in New Delhi today, he said the demonetization of high value currency is just a beginning of his government’s deep and continuous struggle against black money.
He asserts that such types of action will be continued to make India an honest economy. Stating that the decision is in the interest of poor and middle class, he confidently stated that his government is dedicated to eradicate the evils of black money and corruption which have affected people in the last 70 years.
Speaking in the meeting, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is hopeful that the move will work as a catalyst to boost the digital economy. He reiterated that the government is ready for discussion on the issue in Parliament.
Meanwhile, ridiculing opposition’s attack towards his move, Narendra Modi today asked the people to directly convey their views to him on demonetisation via his App. He asked the public to participate in a survey where a number of questions have been posed with regard to scrapping of old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes.
“I want your first-hand view on the decision taken regarding currency notes. Take part in the survey on the NM App,” he said in a tweet. It is significant that the Prime Minister’s move to gauge the views of the people comes at a time when the opposition has escalated its attack on the issue of demonetisation.
