Rahul Gandhi cited Amitabh Bachchan to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Rahul Gandhi showed his humorous side on Wednesday when he cited Hindi film superstar Amitabh Bachchan to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move. He said the PM had turned people’s money into pieces of paper. In another, he picked the lines of a song from the Bachchan-starrer Namak Halaal — “Aapka to lagta hai bas yahi sapna, ram nam japna, paraya maal apna” — to suggest how the PM had forced people to deposit their own money in banks to help him write off the debt of some big corporates.
