People will teach BJP a lesson in UP polls: Raj Babbar

MUZAFFARNAGAR: Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the demonetisation decision to "benefit a few of his friends", causing distress to people who would teach BJP a lesson in the upcoming Assembly polls.

Addressing a rally at Purkazi town in the district last evening, he said the entire nation was in distress due to the note ban and every section of the society was facing the brunt of it.

"Prime Minister is changing rules on demonetisation as if he is changing clothes. A man wearing suit worth Rs 10 lakh cannot call himself a fakir," Babbar said.

State Congress Vice-President Imran Masood also hit out at Modi during the rally, saying, "Narendra Modi has failed to fulfill his promises and caused problems to people after demonetisation."
