After a series of crucial decisions, now Prime Minister Narendra Modi came up with another announcement. He asked all the BJP MLAs and MPs to submit their bank account transactions that took place between Nov 8-Dec31.
Modi further added that the party members should submit the details to BJP President Amit Shah.
Meanwhile , Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and asked PM Modi to seek details of transactions made by his party members six months before the demonetization announcement.
The AAP leader further mentioned that the account details of “PM Modi’s friends like Adani, Ambani and Paytm” should also be obtained.

Aravind Kejriwal even took a step forward and questioned Modi, why BJP politicians have to submit the account transactions to Amit Shah.
तो अब भाजपा के MP/MLA अमित शाह को अपने बैंक डिटेल देंगे और अमित शाह काला धन की चेकिंग करेंगे?

Sources claim that Modi asked BJP lawmakers to submit details of their bank transactions details by January 1. The Prime Minister’s instruction came at a BJP Parliamentary Party meeting held here.
Modi further rejected the allegations stating that the amendments made in the Income Tax Bill were priorly aimed at converting black money into white money.
Supporting Modi’s take on demonetization, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said, “The PM described the move as a fight against black money and said it is for the welfare of poor”.
“The Prime Minister wants to make the country a cashless society and sought everyone’s support,” the minister added.
