Congress frontal organisations on Monday organised a dharna at the Gandhi statue near GVMC against demonetisation.
Demonetisation was announced without providing adequate cash to banks causing difficulties to small farmers, farm labourers, vegetable and fruit vendors who were not able to switch over to cashless transactions, former government whip D. Srinivasa Rao said. Former Minister P. Balaraju, former VUDA chairman P.S.N. Raju, city Congress president Behera Bhaskara Rao and Mahila Congress president Pedada Ramana Kumari participated.
