90 lives lost due to demonetisation, claims Mamata Banerjee

KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today claimed that 90 people have lost their lives due to hardships following demonetisation of high value notes by the Centre a month ago.

"One month since demonetisation was announced. More than 90 lives lost. How many more Modi babu?" she said on twitter.
