NEW DELHI: BJP and its allies today strongly backed the Government’s demonetisation decision on which Prime Minister Narendra Modi ruled out any rethink as the parties prepared to take on the opposition in the winter session of Parliament beginning November 16.
Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters after the meeting that there was no rethink on rendering the high-value currency notes illegal, saying the Government’s crusade against black money and corruption will be carried to its logical conclusion.
The NDA allies decided that they will take on the opposition parties criticising the demonetisation move by countering each of their allegations during the session.
They also decided not to be defensive as people have supported the decision and are willing to face inconvenience.
Modi received a big thumbs up from NDA allies who threw their weight behind him in supporting the demonetisation move as well as the surgical strikes across LoC in September.
Earlier, Modi got support from his own partymen at the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting which discussed the steps taken by him to curb corruption and black money. (AGENCIES)
