JABALPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Congress was targeting him over demonetisation owing to the reverses suffered by “people close to it” in the realty sector as a result of the note ban.
Housing prices fell due to the note ban, leading to the “devastation” of people close to the Congress who had invested in the sector, Modi said, addressing a rally here.
Modi said a majority of Indians supported his move despite the difficulties which it entailed.
He said a campaign was launched when he started acting against black money and corruption and public was instigated by showing videos of people standing in queues outside banks.
A few people sitting in AC rooms of Delhi celebrated the decision, saying ‘Modi’s fate is sealed’, but the majority countrymen have proved them wrong, he said. (AGENCIES)
