Congress leader Madhusudan Mistry on Tuesday alleged that the Centre has in the last six months handed the broom to the people and made false promises, especially in the context of getting black money back home from abroad.

"What have they (BJP) done in 6 months? Handed the broom to people and made false promises," Mistry said while taking a dig at the Centre's 'Swacch Bharat Abhiyan'.

"In hundred days nothing happened on bringing back the black money. Let them deposit 15 lakhs into our account. They made a lot of promises, but nothing happened. Earlier the people never used to believe us, now people are witnessing it," he added.

 

The issue of black money created uproar in the Lok Sabha on the first working day of Winter Session today with the opposition parties asking the Centre to fulfill its promise of bringing it back from abroad.

As soon as the House met for the day, members from Trinamool Congress rushed to the Well holding black umbrellas with slogans like 'bring back black money' painted on them. They were soon joined by members from the Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) who also raised slogans demanding a response from the government as to when the black money will be brought back.
