Ambani, Adani knew about demonetisation in advance: BJP MLA Bhawani Singh

News Agencies | Updated on: 11 February 2017, 5:47 IST

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Kota, Bhawani Singh, has alleged that Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani had prior knowledge of the demonetisation of Rs 500 and 1,000 notes.

"It could have been a step by step move. The government could have given people some time to get things in order. The Adanis and the Ambanis already knew about it and sorted their money in advance," he said.

The BJP MLA has been criticising the implementation of an 'unplanned' currency ban since the beginning.
