The Odisha unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said the 2016 demonetisation exercise introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a significant role in curbing terrorism and Naxalism while strengthening the Indian economy.
The claim was made by BJP state spokesperson Satyabrata Panda at a press conference held to mark the 10th anniversary of demonetisation.
On November 8, 2016, the Union government announced the withdrawal of all Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes from the Mahatma Gandhi Series as part of its demonetisation drive.
