New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the nation by surprise on Tuesday as he announced demonetisation of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes with effect from midnight.
This major announcement will make these notes invalid and it’s being considered a huge assault on black money, fake currency and corruption.
PM Modi gave his first televised address to the nation and claimed that people holding notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 can deposit the same in their bank and post office accounts from November 10 till December 30.

Keep on going @narendramodi
Black Money Circulates Mostly In Rs 500 And Rs 1000 Notes. Now If They Go To Bank To Exchange To Rs 100 Notes, They'd Be Exposed.

Bold And Brilliant!
Yes, it's inconvenient. But the move to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will wipe out black money worth billions. Bold move, but a great one.

This is India's 9/11.

Two #BlackMoney towers of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 have fallen.
You need "56 inch ka seena" to take the step like Modi took on Rs 500 and Rs 1000.
