Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi today said Opposition will wholeheartedly support Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his actions against corrupt people. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi along with other opposition parties including TMC, RJD, and DMK, Mr Gandhi said along with fighting corruption, the Prime Minister should also answer allegations of personal corruption against him.

He hit out at the government on demonetization scheme saying it has failed in curbing blackmoney. Mr Gandhi said Prime Minister Modi should disclose the real reason for demonetisation, and answer who is responsible for sufferings of poor people. He said, 30th December is approaching but there is no improvement in the situation.

Speaking on the occasion, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked whether Mr Modi will take responsibility and resign if things remain unresolved even after 50 days. She alleged that demonetisation is a mega scam and accused the Central government of destroying the federal structure of the country. Ms Banerjee also alleged that country is going through undeclared economic emergency.

Meanhwile, BJP countered Rahul Gandhi asking him to state his stand on 2G scam and Coalgate which took place during UPA regime. Talking to media, party leader and Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Mr Gandhi’s remarks against the Prime Minister show his political immaturity.
