Rahul Gandhi attacks BJP over demonetisation in Chhattisgarh

Jagdalpur, Nov 9 (IBNS): Addressing a rally in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, Congress president Rahul Gandhi attacked the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over demonetisation at Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh on Friday.

Criticising the note ban policy, which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Nov 8, 2016, Rahul said as he has been quoted by The Indian Express, "All of you were standing in long queues during demonetisation but not one black money holder was seen.

"Also, Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, Lalit Modi and Mehul Choksi ran away from the country with your money."

Rahul also attacked the BJP government at the Centre over the Rafale deal and fuel price hike.

The Congress president began his two-day visit to the state on Friday.

The state elections will be held in two phases on Nov 12 and 20.

Out of total 90 constituencies, elections will be held in 18 seats on the first day of polling. Polling in rest 72 seats will be held on Nov 20.

The Congress is eyeing on to wrest power in the state, which is presently ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under Chief Minister Raman Singh.

The state polls are crucial for both the incumbent BJP and Congress ahead of the 2019 General Elections, which will be held in few months' time.
