West&nbsp;Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee&nbsp;
Kolkata: Dubbing the Centre's demonetisation&nbsp;move as the "black policy of the black government", West&nbsp;Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday visited banks and&nbsp;ATMs in the city to witness the "hardship" faced by the common&nbsp;people and demanded withdrawal of the decision.&nbsp;She visited three banks and several ATMs at Sarat Bose&nbsp;Road, Bhawanipore and Chowringhee and spoke to the people there.
"These are all common people. Let the government nab the&nbsp;real culprits," Banerjee said.&nbsp;"I visited several bank branches and ATMs since the&nbsp;morning. I spoke to the people...How they were facing this&nbsp;inconvenience due to an ill-planned and anti-people policy.&nbsp;Those who have black money are not standing in long queues,"&nbsp;she said.&nbsp;"It (the Modi government) should immediately withdraw the&nbsp;decision. It is causing an immense harassment to the masses.&nbsp;Most of the ATMs are still closed. From where will the common&nbsp;man get the money to run the family," Banerjee asked.&nbsp;Pointing out that after standing for hours in a queue,&nbsp;people received only one Rs 2,000 note each, she said, "How&nbsp;will they use this one Rs 2,000 note for all of their daily&nbsp;needs? They are not getting currency notes of lower&nbsp;denominations. There is total chaos and anger."
Earlier in the day, renewing her attack on the Modi&nbsp;government for the move to demonetise the Rs 1,000 and Rs 500&nbsp;currency notes, Banerjee had demanded withdrawal of this&nbsp;"black" political decision, saying it was against the common&nbsp;people.&nbsp;"Withdraw this 'black' political decision which is&nbsp;anti-commoner. Markets across India ruined, purchasing power&nbsp;crashing, people pained," she had tweeted. Claiming that she had said this before, Banerjee said,&nbsp;"But, given the way the young, old and everyone is suffering,&nbsp;let me again appeal to the Central government (to withdraw the&nbsp;decision)".&nbsp;"This has turned out to be a big black scandal. Hardship&nbsp;for the common citizens and full advantage to the&nbsp;money-launderers," she added.
 The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief, on Thursday, had&nbsp;called upon all the opposition parties to work together&nbsp;against the "anti-poor government at the Centre".&nbsp;Mocking the prime minister, she had said that Narendra&nbsp;Modi had gone to Japan after making the people "poor" in&nbsp;India.&nbsp;Banerjee had also penned a poem on the demonetisation&nbsp;issue.
