Demonetization: Antidote to corruption, benefits are clearer than ever-Ravi Shankar Prasad
Demonetisation, as the courageous move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ban currency notes with denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 on November 8, 2016, is popularly known, will long be remembered as the most telling body blow to rampant and widespread corruption and black economy that 10 years of UPA rule had foisted on India. The move was one among the many measures taken by our Government in carrying out its promise of removing the toxins of corruption and tax evasion from India. It was this promise that had won us the trust and love of the people of India and propelled the BJP-led NDA to a historic mandate in May 2014.
