He called the Opposition to put up a united front from against the ruling dispensation, Nitish further asked, the Centre needs to answer all questions regarding demonetisation, as it was about time and it can’t run away from this.
He says “There must not be any question other than asking how much of black money has been recovered after demonetisation and how successful the policy of demonetisation was and what is the road map for the future. The duty of the opposition is to ask such questions, even though it may be critical for the government.
