Calling the demonetisation process as a ¡°big black scandal¡±, Banerjee said that the money launderers are taking the advantage of 'hardship of common citizens'.?
¡°I have said this before, but given the way the young, old and everyone are suffering, I again appeal to the Central government to withdraw this 'black' political decision which is anti-commoner. Markets across India have been ruined, purchasing power is crashing, and people are at pain,¡± Banerjee tweeted.?

Amidst much uproar over Prime Minister Narendra Modi¡¯s announcement on November 8, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was first off the hook when it came to criticizing Modi for demonetising. The announcement triggered confusion and mixed response among people. While the political backlash was still awaited, the first of its kind came from Mamata Banerjee. She tweeted, ¡°withdraw This Draconian Decision¡±.?

Taking a step further, she called the decision as ¡®heartless¡¯ and ¡®ill-conceived¡¯. However, two of her federal front partners including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Orissa chief minister Naveen Patnaik supported the move and assured all kind of support in cracking down on black money.?
