The Rajasthan BJP will observe the first anniversary of demonetisation as 'anti-blackmoney day' on November 8.

The move has come four days after the state Congress announced that it would observe November 8 as a 'black day'.

BJP state general secretary Abhishek Matoria said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken a revolutionary decision by demonetising high value currency notes to eliminate corruption, black money and terror funding.

He claimed that people had welcomed Modi's decision.

The prime minister in his first cabinet meeting had constituted an SIT for probing into black money. BJP-led Centre government made laws to deal with black money, unaccounted properties and tax evasion, Matoria said in a statement.
 

He said that November 8 will be observed as 'anti- blackmoney day' in all districts of the state. The campaign will begin from November 7 with various workshops, panel discussion, rallies, distribution of pamphlets and hoardings informing about the steps taken by the government against black money and corruption.

The campaign will continue till November 9 in which Union ministers, MPs, state ministers, MLAs and BJP office bearers and workers will participate, he added.
