The fake cheques used by the Congress during a protest in Bengaluru
Congress activists today protested with fake cheques as the ruling BJP began a two-day leadership meet in Bengaluru today.
Hundreds of youth Congress workers held up cheques worth Rs 15 lakh made out to "Every citizen of India", as they targeted the BJP on black money.
The cheques, showed as "signed" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, derided his promise to bring back crores in untaxed or black money illegally stashed in foreign bank accounts.
A large number of police personnel tried to stop the protesters gathered outside the venue of the BJP meet.
PM Modi, BJP president Amit Shah and several other senior leaders are attending the national executive meeting, where the party's strategy for expansion and state polls will be discussed.
The Congress has accused the ruling party of reneging on the promises it made during the national election last year.
