'Now We Have Modi Antoinette,' Says Left's Sitaram Yechury In Notes Ban Debate
Left leader Sitaram Yechury borrowed from a meme being shared on social media to take a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he criticised the way the government has pulled Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes to combat black or untaxed money. "In the French revolution, they said if you don't have bread, eat cake. Now we have Modi Antoinette. If you don't have paper, pay by plastic," said Mr Yechury, while speaking in a debate in parliament on the notes ban.
