Terming the prevailing chaos following demonetisation a result of half-baked preparation, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the BJP-led NDA Government could be termed as a Government ‘that acts sans preparation’.
“God forbid, if a war breaks out with our neighbour, this Government would push the whole country in jeopardy… the way it acts proves that it can take any decision without doing homework. This can spell danger for the country,” said Akhilesh while addressing reporters in lucknow on Friday.
He also said, “I am not saying it … it is the talk of the town as how this Government has put the lives of farmers, labourers and daily wage earners at peril. People are now saying that the Government has not done its homework on demonetisation and took the decision in a jiffy.”
Claiming that it will require around a year to normalise the financial situation as banks did not have the cash, the CM said daily wagers and the rural poor have been the worst sufferers. Several of them are starving. This is a sad commentary on the Modi government’s insensitivity,” Yadav said.
The Chief Minister charged that most small traders have gone bankrupt and their business has come to a grinding halt. “The daily wage workers are not getting work and they are finding it difficult to feed their family,”he said.
