Welcoming the decision by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gilua said the central leadership was making efforts in rooting out fear, hunger and corruption.
As per the promise, BJP wanted to fully prevent black money in the country and in foreign countries and in this direction the Rs 500/Rs 1,000 notes were banned and new ones were being issued, Gilua said in a release issued by the party's state unit media in-charge Shivpujan Pathak.
For big reforms, Gilua said strong steps were required, adding while the common people were happy with Modi's decision and the corrupt were stunned.
Rajya Sabha member and BJP's Jharkhand unit treasurer Mahesh Poddar said the business community was with the Prime Minister.
When jawans could sacrifice for the country, the business community would also face the transit period, the release said.
Prasad said that Singh despite being the then Prime
Minister could not save his "guru" P V Narasimha Rao from insult even in his death as the Gandhi family did not allow his body to be taken inside the Congress headquarters.
"He has his own utility. I feel pity for him... This is his tragedy," he told a press conference.
It was Rao who politically empowered Singh, who served as Finance Minister under him, to go for major reforms.
While Congress accuses Modi of criticising it on foreign soil, it was Rahul Gandhi who trashed an ordinance approved by the Singh government when the Prime Minister was in the USA on an official visit, he said.
Prasad listed out several alleged scams that happened under the UPA government to target Singh, saying he maintained silence then and was using terms like "organised loot and legalised plunder" to attack demonetisation.
He also noted that several little known people who worked for the society were given Padma awards by this government.
