‘I have come here to exchange Rs 4000 and will stand with the people who are suffering here,’ Rahul said.
New Delhi:
Like millions across the country, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday stepped out to exchange his old note and was seen taking selfies with people who were waiting outside a branch of State Bank of India (SBI) at Parliament Street in the national capital.
“I have come here to exchange Rs 4000 and will stand with the people who are suffering here,” Rahul told reporters outside the bank.
Rahul attacked the Modi-led government over it decision to demonetise Rs 500 and 1000 notes and said it was only causing a lot of problems for the common man.
“Can you see anybody dressed in suit boot here, everybody here is a common man who is vexed, but the Modi government is absolutely indifferent to their plight,” Rahul said, repeating his often used ‘suit-boot’ jibe.
BJP leaders hit back at the Gandhi scion, accusing him of playing to the gallery and only adding to the chaos at the bank.
