Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday said that demonetisation was a “disaster” for the country on its second anniversary.
The chief minister said she had been describing it as a “dark day” since demonetisation was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016.
“#DarkDay Today is the second anniversary of #DeMonetisation disaster. From the moment it was announced I said so,” Banerjee wrote on her Twitter handle.
#DarkDay Today is the second anniversary of #DeMonetisation disaster. From the moment it was announced I said so. Renowned economists, common people and all experts now all agree.
