Panaji (Goa) Hours before chairing crucial State cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar released a series of tweets praising demonetisation, a step that completes a year today.

“Through increase in financial inclusion & formalisation of our economy demonetisation empowered the poorest of poor,” he tweeted this morning.

“Terrorism & naxalism thrives on unaccounted cash & black money. Demonetisation has struck a blow to anti-India forces,” he said in yet another tweet.

He further tweeted “Demonetisation was a reformist measure to weed out black money, strengthen our economy & establish good governance.”
