Black money will only be redistributed, it will only change homes, Arvind Kejriwal said
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is addressing the media amid the demonetisation move and crisis at ATMs across country.
Here are the highlights of his speech:
- In the name of demonetisation, a huge scam is being played out
- The government had warned certain people ahead
- In the last three months, thousands of crores of rupees have been deposited in banks
- The deposit of such large sums creates suspicion
- In quarters before the last one, deposits were negative, there was no growth
- But then it shot up, who did it?
- Before the PM announced the move on Tuesday, the BJP and its friends had been alerted before and they had stashed their cash
- You saw a report that showed deposits for banks had started falling then they suddenly spiked between the July-September. Who's money was it?
- Those deposits can't be linked with the income declaration scheme. It shows that the BJP had alerted its friends earlier
- A BJP official in Punjab posed with bundles of Rs 2,000 on Twitter two days before PM's announcement
- The other thing is that the chaos that is going on, no black money will come in the system
- Black money will only be redistributed, it will only change homes
- The penalty and tax scheme that government has announced is not good enough for black money hoarders so they are buying dollars and gold instead, bypassing the law
- Touts are going around banks, charging commission to exchange black money
- Who's standing in the line? The common man
- I want to ask 3 questions to Modiji, Amit Shah and BJP. Who has black money? - Adani, Ambani, Subhash Chandra, Badal or the common man?
- Who is getting the money from the commissions to exchange the cash?
- Scrapping Rs 500 notes and bringing Rs 2000 notes shows their intent. Everybody knows ATMs cant be reconfigured overnight. They knew there would be this crisis and the touts would earn
