Like never before, the money power has dominated the present general election across the country. The Congress is blaming PM Modi solely responsible for the ugly turn in the election scene. It says that after demonetisation in 2016, nearly Rs 3 lakh crore has additionally entered into circulation in the country’s economy. The BJP has effectively used higher denomination currency notes to its advantage.
Congress senior leader and ex union minister Kapil Sibal says that there was only Rs 17.97 lakh crore in circulation in the country prior to demonetisation but afterwards it has gone up to Rs 21.42 lakh crore. He says that the BJP leaders have stored huge amounts of money in their party offices and secret places. This money is being distributed and used to buy voters all over. The Election Commission of India is not taking action nor its officials placing vigil on the BJP leaders’ illegal activities.
