Government is favouring Vijay Mallya, alleges CPI
Staging a protest in Chennai against the government's decision to demonetise old high-valued currency, the Communist Party of India (CPI) on Thursday alleged that the Centre is favouring liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Tamil Nadu CPI leader Mutharasan questioned as to how Mallya's ₹1,200 crore could be written off so easily and raised allegations that the Centre is against the people.
