Also, the Uttar Pradesh Congress chief during a rally in Saharanpur ruled out the Congress having alliance with any party in the coming state Assembly elections.

Babbar said the state Congress is "capable enough" to fight elections on its own and ruled out any alliance with any party in the coming Assembly polls slated next year.

Addressing a rally in Muzaffarnagar at Purkazi town in the district on Sunday, he said the entire nation is in distress because of the note ban and every section of the society is facing the brunt of it. 



"The Prime Minister is changing rules on demonetisation as if he is changing clothes. A man wearing suit worth Rs 10 lakh cannot call himself a fakir," commented Babbar.

State congress vice-president Imran Masood also hit out at Modi during the rally, saying, "Narendra Modi has failed to fulfill his promises and caused problems to people after demonetisation."
