Renewing her attack on Narendra Modi government for demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said the move has turned out to be a "big black scandal".
"This has turned out to be a big black scandal. Hardship for the common citizens and full advantage to the money launderers. I have said this before, but given the way the young, old and everyone is suffering let me again appeal to the Central government to withdraw this 'black' political decision which is anti-commoner," Banerjee tweeted.
"Markets across India ruined, purchasing power crashing, people in pain," she said in another tweet.
The TMC chief on Thursday called upon all opposition parties to work together gainst the "anti-poor government at the Centre".
"Let us fight this political and financial anarchy together. We will be with you all," Banerjee had said. Mocking the Prime Minister, she had said Narendra Modi "has gone to Japan after making the people poor in India."
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday demanded rollback of the decision to demonetise, saying that the economy will collapse in the coming days if the decision was not withdrawn.
