West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi about how many more lives would be lost in the country in the wake of the demonetisation move.

"How many more lives will be lost for Modi babu?" Banerjee said on a social media website while retweeting a post by Trinamool Congress spokesperson Derek O' Brien.

Earlier, TMC national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien had tweeted a list of 95 people who he said had died while standing either in queues at banks or ATMs or allegedly committed suicide due to cash crunch after demonetisation.
