Attacking Narendra Modi on the second anniversary of demonetisation, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday called the note ban a "cruel conspiracy" and a "scam".

"Note ban was a planned and cruel conspiracy. This scam was a scheme to launder black money of the Prime Minister's cronies," Gandhi tweeted in Hindi.
