“Modi rejoicing in people’s suffering due to note ban”

With the Opposition continuing its tirade against the Centre over demonetisation, Kerala Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “rejoicing” in the suffering of people affected by the decision.

The Kerala Assembly opposition leader was speaking to media after a protest organised by the Congress state unit here in the wake of the currency reforms announced by the Centre.

The state party unit maintained that the Modi government’s surprise move lacked preparedness and had shattered the economic foundations of Kerala.
