It also rejected as "baseless" her allegation that the demonetisation decision was taken keeping its political interests in mind, saying she was staring at a "massive loss" in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls and levelling unfounded charges in desperation.
"The Prime Minister's decision was not against some people or party but against black money, corruption and those involved in fake currency, drugs and terror funding. It may be possible that some political parties have been affected as well.
Claiming that the Modi government has taken the demonetisation decision in a hurry with "hundred per cent" political interests of BJP in mind, Mayawati said it has caused difficulties to 90 per cent of the common people.
Reacting to her charges, BJP said the government's decision has hit at the roots of nexus of politicians and bureaucrats who "looted" the public money and ensured that even basic facilities like drinking water and electricity were not available in villages for 70 years.
To Mayawati's charge that there was tacit understanding between BJP and SP, he said it was in fact SP and BSP which had joined hands against BJP. Had it been not so, then the accused in the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) scam, which allegedly happened under the BSP rule, would have been punished, he said.
