NEW DELHI: Asserting that the people have supported demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said his Government has brought ‘Janshakti’ (people’s power) into prominence with the decision and flayed the opposition, saying it got “exposed” in Rajya Sabha by not agreeing to a debate despite his presence there twice.
Hitting out at opposition parties, he told BJP MPs at a parliamentary party meeting that Parliament in the past had debated decisions of previous Governments that had caused social tensions and conflict but they were not allowing discussion on a major reform like demonetisation.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said Modi asked MPs to spread awareness about a “less-cash” and digital economy in the same way they enroll people in voters list during elections and highlight the use of EVMs irrespective of which party one votes for.
Modi’s message was for members of all political parties, Kumar said. (AGENCIES)
