BSP president Mayawati Tuesday attacked the Union government for resorting to "half-baked" demonetisation in 2016 and asked if the BJP would apologise for its "economic emergency" which compelled "rural masses to work as labourers".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8, 2016, had banned the old Rs 1000 and Rs 500 denomination notes with immediate effect.
In a tweet, Mayawati said "Capitalists & super-rich may not have (been) affected much from the economic emergency of half-baked 'notebandi' but rural masses which is real India had (been) affected by it worst. People were forced to return to their villages and work as daily wagers for survival. Will the BJP apologise?"
