Pilot claimed that the economy had slowed down, as only 40 per cent new currency had been infused in the system. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcements on New Year’s eve was an attempt to deceive people and hide his government failures,” he said.

It seemed the Prime Minister made announcements as if he was delivering budget speech, Pilot said.
