Congress Criticizes Modi on 10th Anniversary of Demonetisation
On the tenth anniversary of demonetisation, Congress leaders criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling the 2016 currency ban ('Notebandi') a disaster that harmed the economy and accusing his current policies ('Votebandi') of damaging the political system. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh and party president Sonia Gandhi reiterated these views, describing demonetisation as a 'monumental blunder' that failed to meet its stated goals. The Modi government has faced consistent opposition criticism on this anniversary, while coverage remains largely factual and centered on these political statements.
