New Delhi/Kolkata : As the demonetisation entered the third week, the political fight further intensified on Tuesday with an united opposition deciding to hold protests in Delhi on Wednesday while BJP decried alleged “malicious” attempts by those opposing the drive to provoke violence and chaos.
Continuing her tirade against the Modi government, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she would also stage a dharna in Delhi on Wednesday and appealed to other opposition parties to register their protest on the roads. BJP President Amit Shah on his part targeted opposition parties, saying that the exercise is aimed against corruption and those who have black money are worried. Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and his cabinet colleague Kapil Mishra were detained when they tried to march to Parliament from Jantar Mantar protesting demonetisation. Before beginning the march, Sisodia launched an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging he is making people cry and shedding “crocodile tears”.
