On lines with ‘Chai Pe Charcha’, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers organised a ‘Chaurahe Pe Charcha’ at Astley hall here on the effects of demonetisation. Speaking on the occasion, State AAP president Chandra Shekhar Bhatt said the decision of demonetisation resulted in loss of lakhs of jobs across the country and a large population is on verge of dying due to hunger.
State party general secretary Navin Pishrali said the more than 100 people in the country died while standing in lanes outside banks and ATMs after note ban. He said that the decision resulted in no recovery of Black money and break on usage of counterfeit currency as claimed. Some the workers, passersby and the shopkeepers also took part in the discussions and narrated the hardships faced by them.
Prior to the discussions the AAP workers took out a rally in protest against the demonetisation decision. They claimed that the people continue to face problems and the fifty days time period sought out by the Prime Minister to smoothen the situation has also elapsed.
