He said this while addressing a rally organised in support of demonetisation last night at the Patnipura square here.
"8/11 and 9/11 -- both these dates are important for the world. The (Narendra) Modi government has initiated a major step to curb corruption by announcing demonetisation on 8/11 (November 8 last year) and America had resolved to end terrorism after the 9/11 (September 11, 2001) attacks," Vijayvargiya said.
He added that the decision to scrap high-value currency notes caused hardships to those who were in possession of black money, the corrupt people and those funding terrorists.
"Two months ago, I came to know from a businessman in West Bengal that the mode of corruption had changed in that state after the note ban and bribes, in the government system, were now being given in the form of cadbury. He had also told me that cadbury meant a one-kg gold brick," he said.

"Now, the corrupt people in West Bengal are taking cadbury instead of cash. Modi will also find a way to deal with this practice as corruption harms the poor," he said.
BJP vice-president Shyam Jaju, who was also present at the event, pointed out that the Congress was agitating against the note ban across the country.
"This is not a fight between the BJP and the Congress, but one between patriots and traitors," he said.
Jaju claimed that demonetisation had enhanced the credibility of India in the world and boosted country's foreign investments.
