NEW DELHI: The BJP National Executive on Saturday passed an economic resolution hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi' decision on demonetization, saying it would herald "economic inclusion, transparent governance and equitable society in the country".
The saffron outfit claimed that demonetization would lead to transfer of black money from the tax non-compliant to the poor and the weak.
The economic and political resolutions adopted by the BJP national executive meeting came down heavily on the Opposition. The economic resolution accused the Opposition of being negative in approach. Claiming demonetization to be a sacred movement, the BJP stated that the common people were taking upon themselves the temporary suffering of standing in queues with full enthusiasm and positive energy, but the opposition had become negative with destructive energy to defame the Central government and trying to destroy the positive environment of the Country.
"The Opposition dis not allow the Parliament to function for the whole winter session but their efforts didn’t pay them any results because people had shown their trust and patience for the government and its leader’s motives and initiatives. This is reflected in the fact that even after the 50 days of demonetization, there was not a single major incident in the country, there was no loss of public property and there was no loss of people’s patience anywhere in the Country," noted the economic resolution passed by the national executive of the BJP.
The economic resolution listed measures, including Income Declaration Scheme, Jan Dhan Scheme, Black Money Act, Bankruptcy Insolvency Law, DRT Amendment Law, Benami Property Act to stress that the Modi government has undertaken a slew of measures against black money.
