New Delhi, Dec 20 (IBNS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday attacked Narendra Modi and said the Reserve Bank of India is changing its rules like the Prime Minister changes his clothes.

"RBI is changing rules like the PM changes his clothes," he tweeted.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday has imposed new conditions on deposit of old notes exceeding Rs 5,000 in a bank account till December 30.
