Rahul Gandhi hits out at Modi government, says note ban a foolish decision.

Paytm means Pay To Modi, says Rahul Gandhi as Opposition holds Black Day against demonetisation.

Rahul Gandhi hits out at Modi government, says note ban a foolish decision.

"Farmers are dying. He is laughing, having a nice time while the people of the country are suffering," he said.
The 46-year-old leader said goalposts are constantly changing.

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today called Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to ban old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes "foolish" and asked if the focus now on cashless transactions means "paying to Modi".

"If I am allowed to speak in Lok Sabha, I will show to all how Paytm means 'Pay to Modi'," Rahul told reporters outside Parliament, a jibe on Modi appearing in a front-page Paytm advertisement the day after the Prime Minister announced demonetisation in a televised address on November 8.

Rahul called demonetisation a foolish decision. "This is not a bold decision, it is a foolish decision which has been taken without any due consideration. It has devastated the poor, the farmers, the daily wage workers. We want to have a discussion. We want a vote, the government doesn't," Rahul told reporters outside Parliament.
