West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is against the demonetization from the beginning, has now announecd the campaign against the Prime Minister.

Titled "Modi Hatao Desh Bachao", the campaign is scheduled to be launched in all the districts of West Bengal from January 1st, to receive public opinion about the historical decision demontization.

Speaking about the campaign, Banerjee said, "Demonetization has caused economic famine throughout the state. People have lost confidence in the central government and in the banking sector. Hence, we give the call of ‘Modi hatao desh bachao’ to the people of India.”

She further claimed that demonetization is creating unemployment issues. “Diamond artisans from Midnapore, zari (embroidery) artisans from Murshidabad and construction labourers from Coochbehar and Hooghly have returned in lakhs from places such as Mumbai, Delhi and the south. Demonetisation was responsible for unemployment of so many people. We will send an unemployment list due to demonetisation to President Pranab Mukherjee soon,” she said.

Barter system is back on a massive scale throughout West Bengal, after demonetizaton, Banerjee opines. Explaining about this, she said, "When I was young and went to my village, I saw people exchanging rice for salt, fish for onions. Modi’s policies have brought that once again as over 700 gram panchayats in the state are not connected with the banking system.”

“For the real ‘black money holders’, Modi is like a god but for the remaining 94%, he has caused a nightmare,” she said.
