Idea of demonetisation came from RSS: Rahul Gandhi
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that the idea of demonetisation came from a "particular ideologue of the RSS" and that the organisation was a big influence on prime minister Narendra Modi.
"Do you know where the idea of notebandi (demonetisation) came from? It was not the RBI, not Arun Jaitley, it was not an officer in the finance ministry. It was a particular ideologue of the RSS. The RSS presses an idea into the prime minister's mind and PM launches that idea," Rahul Gandhi said.
