Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation decision. While attributing the decision to “one person’s thinking”, he said, “I wonder if even the Finance Minister knew all about the demonetisation.” “Several economists have questioned the rationale behind such decision. Some even fear it would lead to scam. All this should be sorted out immediately. We cannot allow the farmers and labourers to stand in line for three months,” Rahul said.

He should decide what he wants to do.” While claiming that demonetisation had united the entire opposition ahead of the Parliament session, Rahul said, “I don’t think a lot of thought has been given to the demonetisation. It was taken on one person’s thinking.” The government is not going after “big players” having black money like Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi, added Rahul. Asserting that the decision had caused major inconvenience to ordinary citizens, he said there had been reports of 18-20 deaths already outside ATMs and banks. About the PM’s mother standing in queue, he said: “My style is different from the PM. I will not comment.” Rahul arrived in Mumbai a day ahead of his court hearing at Bhiwandi.
