BJP today charged the Samajwadi Party (SP) government with "purposely defaming" the Centre over the demonetisation issue.
"It is the duty of the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh to see that people standing in queues outside banks and ATMs do not face any problem...(but) SP is out to defame demonetisation," BJP chief spokesman Hriday Narain Dixit told newspersons here.
"There are certain problems concerning farmers (because of demonetisation) which will be overcome soon... UP government should also cooperate...(but) there is an effort to condemn the move knowingly," he said.
