How many more lives will demonetisation claim, asks Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today wondered how many people would die because of the central government's demonetisation decision, which was implemented nearly a month ago.
"How many more lives will be lost for Modi babu," she commented while retweeting a post by TMC spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien, which claimed that 88 people had died while standing in queues at banks and ATMs or committed suicide.
"Sad. No end to corruption and yet at least 88 people have now died #NoteChaos #Demonetisation Listed by State/Name/Cause of Death," O'Brien had tweeted.
Continuing her tirade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Banerjee had vowed to fight till the end against the "anti-people" decision of demonetisation which, she claimed, had imposed an "undeclared financial emergency" in the country.

Banerjee had staged a sit-in in Delhi on November 23 and also met President Pranab Mukherjee on the issue.
