Demonetisation Live: Congress Demands Resignation of RBI Governor

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday demanded that RBI Governor Urjit Patel should tender his resign over demonetisation.

Demanding ‘restoration of RBI’s autonomy’, several Congress leaders on Wednesday submitted a memorandum at RBI Headquarter in Mumbai, party leader R S Surjewala said.

Ahead of the assembly elections in several states, Congress workers on Wednesday picketed 25 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) offices across the country as a mark of protest against Modi government’s demonetisation.

Highlighting the plight of the common people due note ban, Congress leaders have alleged that demonetisation failed to wipe out the present stock of black money held in cash from the economy and eliminate the ill-gotten wealth converted into assets such as gold and real estate.

Congress wants to use demonetisation as a tool in the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Manipur to attract voters.
