The resolution was adopted during its first executive meeting after formation of the new state unit, party leaders said.
Congress has learnt no lessons from its successive poll
defeats while BJP has won everywhere after demonetisation, Prasad claimed, adding that its attack on the government showed its "affection for the corrupt and corruption".
He also targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over communal violence in Dhulagarh, alleging that "attempts of massacre" are being made and police is not taking action.
"I want to ask those intellectuals, who cried over 2002 riots in Gujarat and then intolerant India, that when are they going to Kolkata," he said sarcastically. BJP has claimed that Hindus have been targeted in the violence.
Prasad, who is also IT Minister, said digital payments have gone up by anywhere between 300 per cent and 1500 per cent following demonetisation which, he and Goyal said, have been a "big success".
Over 1.15 crore people against the target of 80 lakh have been trained in digital transactions, he claimed.
Goyal also refuted the allegations that crores of rupees have been sent to BJP office in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, demanding that proof be given and warning of legal action.
"We are getting indication for an historic support for BJP in UP," he said, claiming that people have supported note ban despite hardships.
"Things are fast returning to normalcy," he said.
