Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked the public to convey their views to him via his App by answering a set of questions. He asked the public to participate in a survey on Narendra Modi App where 10 questions, with various options, have been posed with regard to scrapping of old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes. "I want your first-hand view on the decision taken regarding currency notes. Take part in the survey on the NM App," he tweeted. The Prime Minister's move to gauge the views of the people directly comes at a time when the opposition has escalated its attack on the issue of demonetization. The government claims 5 lakh people were surveyed across 2,000 locations in the world.
