Sisodia, who inaugurated 'Delhi Pavilion' at the 14-day India International Trade Fair (IITF) which began here today, said that it was a "sad event" in view of business.
"It is a sad event from the point of view of trade. When there is no trade, what is the significance of the fair then? We are following a mere custom to participate in it," the Deputy Chief Minister told reporters here.
He alleged that due to demonetisation, there has been a significant dip in tax collection and the government was not getting sufficient revenue.
"The government is not receiving revenue. Business has affected severely. People do not have money to eat food. They are sleeping outside ATMs to withdraw cash, but people who have black money are sleeping comfortably.
The theme of 'Delhi Pavilion' this year is 'Digital Delhi'.
