Scrapping old notes to reduce money power in politics: Cong
Lauding the Centre's move to demonetise ₹500 and ₹1,000 notes, the Congress on Wednesday said the initiative would reduce the flow of funds to political parties. Claiming that parties like BJP and BSP give priority to the power of money, Congress asserted these parties will now face difficulties. This step would make the political system free of corruption, it added.
