Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attacked Mamata Banerjee for opposing government’s demonetisation move saying those who looted poor people with chit fund scam are doubting government’s intention. PM said, "I know what sort of people are raising their voice against me? Does the country not know whose money was invested in chit fund business? Lakhs and crores of poor people invested money in chit funds.
But with the blessings of politicians, crores and crores of rupees have vanished.” “Due to chit fund loss, hundreds of head of families were forced to commit suicide. Look at history and they are raising fingers on me,” he said. PM Modi, who launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna, also expressed his condolences on the deaths of 103 people in Indore_Patna Express derailment. He further said that the Centre would probe the incident. "Many people lost their lives, got injured in train derailment near Kanpur this morning. Rescue operation are still continuing," said PM Modi.
