Congress Plans To Gherao RBI Offices To Protest Demonetisation
Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi
The Congress will gherao the Reserve Bank of India office in Delhi and 25 other RBI offices across the country from Wednesday as part of its protest against demonetisation and "destruction of RBI's autonomy". The gherao will go on from January 18 to 23 in different cities across the country. Randeep Singh Surjewala said:
Failure to restore money supply has paralyzed India's economy leading to massive loss of jobs and closure of businesses on everyday basis….RBI, instead of playing the role of an independent monetary regulator and a key denominator of economic growth, has become a mere post office following the diktats of Modi government like a captive puppet.…
Anand Sharma will lead the gherao in New Delhi, Randeep Singh Surjewala in Mumbai, N. Sanjeeva Reddy in Kolkata, Prithviraj Chavan in Bengaluru (19 January), Oscar Fernandes in Chennai (20 January), Rajeev Shukla in Chandigarh, Kapil Sibal in Dehradun, K.C. Venugopal in Panaji, Shakeel Ahmad in Lucknow, Gurudas Kamat in Jaipur, Sushil Kumar Shinde in Ahmedabad and Salman Khurshid in Patna.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
