Political allies at loggerheads over Demonetisation issue
- by Webdesk
- 26 Nov 2016
After taking repeated digs at the Centre over demonetisation, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday dubbed the move as “extortion of common man” and asked the BJP to take former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s words on the issue seriously as it came from a “renowned economist”.
“I will not hesitate in taking a critical stand on the process in which demonetisation was implemented. One person cannot take a decision for 125 crore people. Before taking the decision to demonetise the currency, people should have been taken into confidence,” said Uddhav Thackeray.
Infact, as per a report in Hindustan Times, the Congress also questioned the NCP chief Sharad Pawar about his party’s stand over demonetisation.
According to the report, Sanjay Nirupam, chief of Mumbai Congress, said that Pawar has been changing his stand on the decision. He said NCP first welcomed the decision on demonetisation on 8 November, but while addressing a rally on Sunday, he criticised the decision as ‘economic emergency.
With the civic body elections around the corner, the issues of these political allies, seem far from over. Is there a 4 way contest on cards yet again?
