Shah to brief office bearers on how to convince people on demonetisation on Nov 28

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has called a meeting of office bearers tomorrow to brief them on how to reach out to people on the demonetisation issue so as to convince them about the Centre's policy, sources told ANI on Saturday.

Meanwhile, a separate meeting of general secretaries (Organisation) of all states have also been called by the BJP president and national general secretary Ram Lal in this regard.

The party's initiative to reach out to the people to convince them came days after it was decided that the BJP ministers would be meeting lawmakers of their party in the coming days to brief them about the government's demonetisation drive.

Around 12 ministers, who will be meeting the BJP MPs in batches, will give them tips with regard to what is to be told to the people of their respective constituencies on this move. They will meet in groups of 40.

The meeting assumes significance as a united opposition is leaving no stone unturned in taking potshots at the BJP-led NDA regime in Parliament post this decision which they dub as against the common man of the nation.
