Master Stroke: Demonetization biggest failure of BJP govt: Congress

During a press briefing on Wednesday in Delhi, Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari said, "As a consequence of demonetisation the number of fake currency which was detected was 7.6 Lakh pieces but the same figure in 2015-16 was 6.3 Lakh pieces. So as a consequence of this elaborate exercise which caused pain to million, only 1.3 Lakh extra pieces of fake currency were identified."

He also highlighted the discrepancies between the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other ministers and said, "Prime Minister declared from ramparts of red fort that 3 lakh crores black money has been identified and his own ministers in successive replies to parliament have said that amount of undisclosed income and undeclared income is not more than 28,000 crore.
