Amit Shah takes on Rahul Gandhi's demonetisation tweet

BJP chief Amit Shah on Wednesday took on Rahul Gandhi, who tweeted a picture of an anguished ex-serviceman to pan demonetisation, saying people will no longer be misled by such falsity and cited the former soldier’s remarks to media supporting the note ban decision.

The top leaders of Congress and BJP battled it out on social media platform Twitter on the first anniversary of demonetisation with Gandhi firing the first shot.

Gandhi posted a couplet and tagged a last year’s viral picture of Nand Lal, the septuagenarian ex-armyman, which showed him in tears as he waited for his turn to withdraw currency notes following the demonetisation decision.

Seeking to embarrass Gandhi, Shah tagged a fresh interview of Nand Lal who, the report said, has come out in support of the decision.
