Satpal ji Maharaj said it was clear that the entire world is appreciating the demonetization move and Venezuela was one country which has also introduced demonetization after it was done in India.

“The people of India had elected Narendra Modi because he is committed to completely eliminate black money. This move of the Prime Minister will strengthen the Indian economy”, he added.

While commenting on the local issues, Satpal ji Maharaj said it was during the tenure of BJP that the city mayor Arun Sood and Mayor Kirron Kher had managed to bring in a lot of development in the city.

He said Chandigarh had got the distinction of becoming the smart city and had also been awarded for sanitation, adding the city will soon be a technologically advanced city with the initiatives of the government.”
