Congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the government's 2016 demonetization.
Scindia, who toured Madhya Pradesh's Bundelkhand and Vindhya regions from September 6-8, told IANS that the Modi government announced the note ban "in a dictatorial way which has led to serious repercussions for the economy".
He said that poor people in particular had to go through a hard time and many lost their jobs due to the sudden ban Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes.
The decision to withdrawing 86 per cent of the country's currency was a bad decision and did not benefit the people, he said.
