"If I Was Prime Minister...": Rahul Gandhi On Notes Ban In Malaysia | Read

Rahul Gandhi, at an interaction with members of the Indian community in Malaysia, took a stinging swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sudden decision to demonetise high-value currency notes in 2016. The Congress president has been a consistent critic of the notes ban decision and the way it was implemented, forcing millions of Indians to stand in snaking lines outside banks for days. At the interaction, someone asked Mr Gandhi how he would have rolled out demonetisation differently. "If I was Prime Minister and someone had given me a file with demonetisation written on it, I would have thrown it in the dustbin. That is how I would have rolled it out," Mr Gandhi said to a loud applause from the audience.
