Mr Somaiya also took a dig at the opposition for raising demonetisation issue in every debate.
"When we were debating budget, they raised demonetisation. Even today (Monday) they raised it... Talking about demonetisation, they suffered devaluation so badly that one will have to search for Congress in Uttar Pradesh," Mr Somaiya said.
