    Do you know the total amount of black money collected so far??? You are convinced that no BJP members had black/unaccounted money with them because when whole nation stood in bank queue to convert their money no BJP members stood in the queue. Then if there is no question about black money then what is the purpose of Demonetisation???????....Just to snoop in on opposition wealth??????......
