Kejriwal, Mamata give Modi three-day deadline to roll back demonetisation policy

Addressing a rally at Azadpur Mandi, the biggest wholesale market for vegetables in Delhi, both the leaders said the Government's move has  put the commoners in misery while aiding business tycoons in the name of arresting the flow of black money.

"Demonetisation is independent India’s biggest scam worth  eight  lakh crore," Kejriwal said..

"Centre estimating total deposit from people will be around ten lakh crore rupees. Modi will waive 8 lakh crore loan of friends," he said adding already Rs. 1.14 lakh crore has been written off.

Kejriwal said demonetisation has hit supply of essential items and people are being forced to line up outside banks. "But the  Narendra Modi Government allowed Vijay Mallya to run away from country."

""Take back this decision in three days... Don't test people's patience. Otherwise, there will be a revolt  by people," the  Delhi Chief Minister warned.

Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee vowed to be by the side of Kejriwal in this "fight" and alleged that the PM  has broken constitutional rules.

"Why did not you make a proper plan before the implementation.... The common man is suffering due to it."

" We are giving you three days. If you do not fix all problems, we will not leave you. We are still alive," she said.

" Today they announced that only Rs 2000 can be exchanged and not Rs 4000. What’s going in their head?," Banerjee said.

"If vegetable is  mandi shut, what will people eat--diamond or ATM card?," she asked.

Together the leaders also visited the office of the Reserve Bank of India in the capital. "How much currency needed? How much printed? What is capacity? How many more days will it take? Me n Mamtadi at RBI to get this info,"  Kejriwal tweeted.

On Wednesday, Kejriwal's party MP Bhagwant Mann had joined Mamata Banerjee in a meeting with President Pranab Mukherjee to urge him to direct the Centre to withdraw the demonetisation.
