The Congress on Saturday alleged that Finance Minister Piyush Goyal had "forced" NABARD to issue a statement "to hide the demonetisation scam by BJP President Amit Shah" and demanded that audit reports, including those of NABARD, be made public.

Accusing the BJP government of giving "patronage to scamsters", the Congress also said that another bank fraud worth Rs 2,000 crore, by the D.S. Kulkarni (DSK) group of companies, had come to the fore in Maharashtra.
