Do you remember when PM Narendra Mod on 8th November 2016, made an important change in the economic policy of the country by making drastic changes in the country? Yes, you are right. Last year on this day the government had banned and withdrawn old 500 and 1000rs notes from circulation to stop black money and corruption.
Well, this story has two folds. Some said that it affected their lives and the decision made by the government was not right, while on the other hand, many people supported this move and were very happy when this change had taken place.
On this special ocassion to mark the 1st anniversary of demonetisation, PM Modi takes this moment to thank the people of India for their constant support during this time and he also shared a video on twitter highlighting the benefits of Demonetisation.
Though PM Modi and BJP take this opportunity to celebrate the #AntiBlackMoneyDay, the opposition on the other hand calls it the “Black Day.” Political leaders from different states including the Congress party also criticized this noteban move. In her Facebook post she criticizes demonetisation move saying it is a big scam.
I bow to the people of India for steadfastly supporting the several measures taken by the Government to eradicate corruption and black money. #AntiBlackMoneyDay

Like I said there are two-opinions to this move. So, I leave it for you to decide! Looks like BJP is in the mood to eradicate all the black money no matter whatever comes their way. This move has surely made changes in everyone’s life, so it has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Its upto you to decide what fits best in your interest.
