Fall in India’s GDP is result of 2016 demonetisation: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on September 3, tweeted a video claiming that fall in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is a result of demonetisation, which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2016.
In the 3-minute-long video, Gandhi said that Demonetisation was an attack on a poor farmers, labourers and small shopkeepers of India. The video was captioned:
Modijis Cash-Free India is actually a labourer-farmer-small businessman free India.
The dice that was thrown on November 8, 2016, had a terrible result on August 31, 2020.
Apart from the decline in GDP, watch my video to see how demonetisation broke the unorganized economy of the country.
Gandhi added: Another hidden motive of demonetisation was to clear up lands. The informal sector of the country runs on cash, a small businessman, labourer or a famer earns his living via cash. PM Modi himself said that he wanted a ?cashless India, however, if India goes cashless, then the informal sector of the country will be terminated. Farmers, labourers and small businessmen are the ones who faced heavy losses since their entire living depends upon cash. Demonetisation was an attack on these people. It was an attack on informal sector of the country. We will have to identify this attack and fight together against it.
