Demonetisation to hit BJP in polls: Akhilesh
Sanjay Pandey, Lucknow, Dec 25,2016, DHNS:
People will teach saffron party a lesson, says UP CM
Indicating that demonetisation would be an issue in the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said people would punish those who inflicted pain on them.
“When the time comes, the people will teach a lesson to those responsible for giving them pain,” Akhilesh said speaking at a function here after distributing compensation cheques to the kin of the those who reportedly died in queues before banks and ATMs after demonetisation.
The chief minister handed over cheques for Rs 2 lakh each to 14 people who lost their kin.
‘Economy hit
Akhilesh said demonetisation had hit the country’s economy “very hard” and it would be very difficult to recover the lost grounds in the near future.
“It is really very painful that the people are not able to withdraw their own money from banks and ATMs despite standing in queues for days together,” Akhilesh said.
He also said there were many flaws in cyber security laws and that online transactions were not entirely safe.
Akhilesh has made it clear that the Samajwadi Party (SP) will include the demonetisation issue in its election campaign agenda as it has “affected every section of society”.
His decision was being viewed by the BJP as an attempt to gain the sympathy of the people ahead of the Assembly polls. The saffron party, however, said such moves would not help the SP.
