Only Modi and his 3-4 friends will benefit from note ban: Manish Sisodia

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi has been engaged in a constant tug of war with the Centre. The latest chapter in this tussle is the Shunglu Committee report, which was recently submitted to Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.

There is speculation that the report has adverse observations about the AAP government. The committee was formed by the LG to look into the 400 odd files of the Delhi government which he had declared as illegal.

AAP has also been one of the most vocal critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation policy. The party has called it an 8 lakh crore rupees scam.

Catch spoke to senior AAP leader and Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on all these issues. Adopting a combative tone, Sisodia said that the Centre is a government of thieves. He said that far from preventing corruption, the note ban is likely to promote it. "This is nothing but a policy to benefit Modi and his 3-4 friends," he said.
