Lucknow: Condemning the Modi government on the notes ban anniversary, the BSP today accused it of implementing demonetisation in a "hasty" manner and suggested that the BJP observe the day as "demonetisation forgiveness day" instead of "anti-black money day".
The BSP chief also alleged that owing to demonetisation, a number of new sources of corruption have germinated, the advantage of which has been taken by "the BJP and company".
"The government of Narendra Modi demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes in a hasty and premature manner. This affected nearly 125 crore people of the country, mostly the poor, farmers and other hardworking people. In fact, this has proved to be a black chapter in the history of India," BSP chief Mayawati said in a statement here.
"The decision to implement demonetisation cosmetically appeared to end corruption in the country, but instead the corruption level increased. One after the other, acts of corruption of people linked with the BJP are coming to the fore. Paradise Papers is the latest revelation," she said.
"The silence and inactiveness of the BJP government in this matter of corruption will not remain a mystery any more, as the Modi government is now maintaining silence on almost every case," she said.
