Earlier on Wednesday, the central bank of India said in its annual report that over 99.30 per cent of the demonetized currency of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 have been returned to the bank system.
As per the NDTV reports, ‘in the central bank annual report, it has been mentioned that the fraction of the currency- Rs 10,720 crore- was left out of the system after the unprecedented move aimed at checking black money and corruption - an exercise that cost the government Rs. 8,000 crore.
Rahul blamed PM Modi for the loss of economy with the notes ban and he also said that PM Modi must be answerable to the common man.
He further said that ‘What Modi Ji did was he took out money from your pocket and gave it to his crony capitalist friends.’
