Demonetisation decision taken in haste: Pilot

Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot on Thursday blamed the Centre for the “hardship” of the people due to its demonetisation move, saying that the decision was taken “in haste”.

“The decision was taken in haste and with no advance preparation which led to mismanagement. Even deaths have been reported due to this mismanagement. It has created problems in families where marriages are scheduled. Medical services too have been affected,” he said in a statement.

Pilot claimed that the Centre's move had resulted in an “adverse impact” on productivity and economy and daily wagers were queueing up in front of banks, instead of earning their wages.
