AGARTALA, Dec 30 (TIWN): Tripura Pradesh Congress members led by PCC Chief Birjit Sinha along with National leader Ramen Barthakur (now coordinator of Tripura in Demonetization-protest committee), held a press meet on Friday, after the completion of 50 day's deadline which was set by PM Modi as the 'ending of common people's suffering'. Along with the set of questions placed before PM Modi, Congress also accused BJP govt for many issues: as for keeping black-money in ‘tricky-ways’. Addressing the press meet Birjit Sinha said, “Due to the demonetization many people left work-less, income became slow, business receiving major losses. But Citizens gave the Central Govt 50 days and they were ready to suffer in those 50 days for the sake of Country’s development. But unfortunately in Tripura and other states the note-crisis has not been ended. What’s the reason behind it?â€
“Tea garden workers, owners in Tripura all are facing major jolts everyday due to this. Market prices of daily commodities have heavily downed. Since Nov 10, many times many policies were changed, but the condition of the people remained same”, Sinha added.
Sinha further announced that as per national congress party schedule on January 5 Congress will gheraou all Collectors and SDM offices protesting against demonetization. Before that along with the whole nation District-wise press meets will be held in whole Tripura on Jan 2nd.
Birjit Sinha further placed 5 questions of Congress High Command Rahul Gandhi. The questions are :
- From 8th November what’s the report of Black-Money collection?
- What is the total loss including GDP during the 50 days of time-perios,
- How many people lost jobs, how many died?
- Why no compensation has been given to the victim families?
- Before 8th Nov’s announcement how many people deposited huge amounts of money in their own bank accounts?
Congress further asked BJP Govt for providing Rs. 25,000/- to each BPL family member’s women’s accounts.
Ramen Barthakur told media that BJP is Anti-people & Anti-poor Govt. Modi just made a disaster which he should recover with compensation.
Congress further pointed out that till Dec 10th RBI announced that 80 % money were deposited, but after that no announcement yet.
“Without announcing any report after demonetization, now the Govt is moving for cashless society. However, the cashless could be done without demonetization”, said Pijish Kanti Biswas at Congress Bhawan.
