The Shiv Sena on Thursday said people were waiting to punish Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing demonetisation two years ago. On November 8, 2016, PM Modi announced a ban on then in use Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 denomination bank notes with immediate effect.

The Sena, a constituent of the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra, claimed the note ban exercise was a "complete failure" as none of its objectives were achieved.
