"Those who were plundering the wealth of the nation are facing untold miseries on account of the decision to demonetise currency notes. A large number of Benami companies which were in existence and found to be conducting business are being unearthed after the demonetisation process. About three lac such companies have been closed down. Dealings of 5,000 more such companies are being closely scrutinized, and it was found that these companies indulged in conducting Benami transactions worth Rs 4,000 crore. I will continue my tirade against corrupt people involved with black money," he announced.
