Harish Rawat and Pritam Singh term demonetisation a total failure
On the fourth anniversary of demonetisation the Uttarakhand unit of Congress party opened a front against the Narendra Modi led BJP government. In Dehradun, the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Pritam Singh led the assault on the government while the general secretary of All India Congress Committee (AICC) and former Chief Minister Harish Rawat attacked Modi on demonetisation in Haldwani on Sunday.
Addressing media persons at Congress Bhawan, Pritam Singh said that demonetization proved to be a total failure and only the BJP, Ambani and Adani got benefited from it. He alleged that the BJP collected a fortune in the name of the party during the demonetisation. The party is now opening block and Mandal offices everywhere and millions of rupees are being spent on these offices. The PCC President said that the economy of the country is in dire straits and now the economies of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives are better placed than India.
On demonetisation, Singh reminded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had sought 50 days from the people of the country but at the end of four years the economy has not recovered from the blow of demonetisation. He added that the claims of terrorism getting affected by demonetisation too have proved wrong.

In Haldwani former CM Harish Rawat reminded that the government while invoking demonetisation had said that the people having black money would receive a blow from the decision but exactly opposite of this claim occurred. Rawat said that the economy during the Modi regime failed completely and it affected employment the most. Taking the Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat to task, Harish Rawat said that he has failed to provide employment.
