Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday sought to know from Prime Minister Narendra Modi the amount of black money recovered after the November 8 demonetisation.

"Fifty days (post demonetisation) have been completed, Modiji please answer these five questions to the nation," Gandhi tweeted a picture with the questions.

In one of the questions, Gandhi asked Modi to reveal the amount of black money recovered post demonetisation.

The Congress leader also sought to know the economic loss to the nation and number of jobs lost due to the central government's move to demonetise high value currency notes.

"How many people died due to demonetisation and has the compensation been paid?" Gandhi said.

Gandhi asked: "Who all deposited more than 25 lakhs in bank accounts in six months preceding November 8."

He also asked the Prime Minister to answer who all had he consulted on the move.

"Why were experts, economists and RBI not consulted (on demonetisation)," Gandhi asked.
