The Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal will observe “black day” on November 8 to commemorate the first anniversary of demonetisation.
It will organise rallies in all districts of Bihar that day and ask the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre what demonetisation had achieved for the country in the last one year.
“They have to answer,” RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav told media persons on Monday. Small businesses were hit hard by the demonetisation and several had to close shop, he said.
Party polls
The party is set to complete the process of electing its State president by November 7. Former Minister Alok Mehta is the front runner for the post.
Former Minister Shiv Chandra Ram too is in the race. But as Mr. Mehta is seen as being close to former Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav, his election, many in the party say, is “almost certain”.
