Ratan Tata on Tuesday said that demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes is bold step which desetves support. Tata said that the decision will help wipe out the black money and corruption. “Demonetisation of old currency notes by the Modi govt is a bold act that will wipe out black money and corruption. It deserves our support,” he said in a tweet.

Ratan Tata is not the first person to support the demonetisation drive. Earlier, a number of public figures, including Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, Amitabh Bachchan among others, have suppored the decision.

Earlier today, PM Modi in a tweet had asked people to share their opinions on the decision to implement demonetisation. Modi, in a Tweet, said: I want your first-hand view on the decision taken regarding currency notes. Take part in the survey on the NM App.

However, PM opinion-seeking on mobile phone was also criticised by opposition. Attacking the PM, MIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said: “PM Modi wants a Survey on his app in a country where 40 crore people illiterates,20 crore people work in unorganised sectors,60 have died.”
