BJP ally and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who had initially supported demonetisation, on Tuesday said the decision was not as per \u201cour wish\u201d and that a \u201clot of problems\u201d still remain without any solution in sight.<\/p>\n
Chandrababu, who significantly heads a 13-member committee <\/span>appointed by the central government to look into demonetisation issues, warned that unless remedial measures are taken, people\u2019s woes would continue in the long-term.<\/p>\n \u201cDemonetisation was not our wish but it happened. More than 40 days after demonetisation, there are still a lot of problems but yet there appears to be no solution,\u201d he said addressing a workshop of MPs, MLCs, MLAs and other leaders of his Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Vijaywada.<\/p>\n \u201cIt still remains a sensitive and complicated problem,\u201d said Chandrababu,<\/p>\n \u201cI am spending two hours daily to ease the problems caused by demonetisation. I am breaking my head daily but we are unable to find a solution to this problem,\u201d the CM said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe could resolve the \u2018August crisis\u2019 (an internal party coup dating back to 1984) in 30 days but this (demonetisation) still persists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He said banks were \u201cnot prepared\u201d for a transition to digital economy.\u00a0\u201dThey are unable to even register banking correspondents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Chandrababu had initially been a strong proponent of ban on high denomination currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000. In fact, he had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 12 reiterating his demand.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a moral victory for the TDP,\u201d the party had said in posts on Facebook and Twitter. \u201cPrime Minister Modi may have taken the decision now but Chandrababu had these thoughts even when he was in the opposition (2004-14). He had been fighting for scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes since then,\u201d the TDP said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n The party media cell dug out newspaper clippings dated back to June 2013 when Chandrababu raised the demand for the first time.<\/p>\n But as people started facing trouble in exchanging the scrapped notes as well as in withdrawing cash from their savings accounts, Chandrababu seemed to change his tune and started making critical remarks about the Centre\u2019s move, particularly the introduction of Rs 2000 notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BJP ally and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who had initially supported demonetisation, on Tuesday said the decision was not as per \u201cour wish\u201d and that a \u201clot of problems\u201d still remain without any solution in sight.
