On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced to the nation that ₹500 and ₹1,000 currency notes would cease to be a legal tender.
“3 years since Demonetisation and every claim made by the government and those hailing it as a slayer of all evils has been turned on its head. It proved to be a disaster that has all but destroyed our economy,” Ms. Vadra said in a tweet.
“Anyone want to claim responsibility?” the Congress General Secretary wrote, using the hashtag ‘DeMonetisation Disaster’.
