Baba Ramdev today commented that the government should reconsider the decision to introduce the Rs 2000 note in future, he said: “High denomination currency never augurs well for any country, which is why the Prime Minister has stressed the digital transactions. The government should reconsider Rs 2000 note in future.”
Crores of rupees in high denomination currency can be stored in a small space, like in a suitcase, he said. Lauding the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for his decision to close liquor shops on the banks of Narmada, Ramdev said the whole country should move towards total prohibition, which even Mahatma Gandhi wanted.
“It would be good if farmers on the banks of the river Narmada planted fruit trees. Patanjali assures it would purchase the entire produce if farmers here planted saplings of amla,” he said. Asked about illegal mining along the Narmada, he said Chouhan had promised him to deal with the issue.
