The PM said that the success of any decision is measured by the poll victory, and Maharashtra poll victory proved the success of demonetisation. “Maharashtra local body polls proved who is really truthful, and in which direction the country wants to go,” he said at BKC while laying the foundation stone for various infrastructure projects for Mumbai.
