Strongly ridiculing the former union finance minister P Chidambaram’s accusation that demonetisation was a biggest scam in the country and this will not check corruption, union labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya today warns that he must remind this is NDA government, but not UPA, the source of all scandals.
Stating that Chidambaram is a good lawyer and he can advise people on how to take bribes in Rs 2,000 notes, he said that he must realise in the present regime it is not possible to get free without getting caught. Recalling that people had given a verdict against his tenure as a Finance Minister in 2014, the union minister advised him don’t dream again as there is no chance of him becoming a Finance Minister again.
Dattatraya flayed that seeing though his own glasses Chidambaram with his “myotic vision” and Congress Party “who are drenched in corruption are trying to see corruption in every developmental activity” only to misguide people and resorting to Global publicity.
“It is not inconclusive and badly executed because in exercise of this big magnitude utmost secrecy has to be maintained or else the purpose gets defeated. Even the President of India expressed that the nation will be benefited by demonetization,” he added.
He asserted that no one believes Chidambaram’s allegations in this country and the people have expressed total solidarity for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s move. He said that Chidambaram and Congress party should realize that all the bye elections and local bodies’ elections after demonetization gave a full support to the BJP and NDA. “It clearly indicates that the people stood by the Prime Minister’s decision,” he added.
The Union Minister said that now the queues in banks and ATMs have disappeared. Only the Congress people and others like them who encouraged the black money all along their lives are complaining against the demonetization, he said.
