Hopeful of Nitish Kumar coming on board on demonetisation: Salman Khurshid

Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Friday expressed hope that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would agree to his party’s stance on demonetisation after the latter reviewed his decision on the move. “After reviewing his decision on the completion of 50 days of demonetisation, Nitish Kumar would take a decision after consulting his party keeping in mind the ground realities in Bihar. But we would like Nitish Kumar to be with us in our struggle and movement that we have launched against demonetisation especially with regard to its poor implementation,” Khurshid told reporters here.

Notably, Nitish Kumar had supported the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move but his party had later made it clear that it would review its decision (on demonetisation) after completion of 50 days i.e. after December 30.
