Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has suggested that currency notes of Rs 200 denomination should be introduced and said that there was no need to bring into circulation Rs 1,000 notes again.
Chavan aired this view during his speech in the Assembly, wherein the combined Opposition criticised the Modi government for putting common man, farmers, poor, vendors and rural population in great trouble due to demonetisation.
Initiating the debate, Chavan said the decision was taken with an eye on State Assembly elections in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Launching further attack, he said surprisingly the Government was promoting foreign linked payment gateways.
“We should not encourage foreign linked payment gateways,” said the Congress leader.
