People have not got Rs 15 lakh in their accounts: Akhilesh Yadav
Lucknow:
Taking a dig on four years of demonetisation, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said fake currency notes are still in circulation and corruption has increased.
“After four years of demonetisation, fake currency notes are still there. Corruption has increased. There is no “hisaab” of black money. People have not got Rs 15 lakh in their accounts,” Akhilesh Yadav said in a Hindi tweet.
The tweet by the SP chief came hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the note ban by the Centre in 2016 helped reduce black money, increased tax compliance and ensured transparency.
On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Modi announced the decision to ban currency notes of higher denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Prime Minister Modi listed the beneficial outcomes of demonetisation.
Along with his tweet, the prime minister also shared a graphic on how demonetisation has ensured better tax compliance, improved tax and GDP ratio, made India a lesser cash-based economy and gave a boost to national security.
