New: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that West Bengal was targeted by the Centre as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dared to slam the demonetisation.
“West Bengal is being targeted because Mamtadi dared to speak against demonetisation,” Kejriwal tweeted.
“Mamtadi, keep up the fight. Whole nation is with you,” the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor said expressing his support.
