Ramdas Athawale says Rs.15 lakh in each account will come but slowly

Solapur: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has said that the Rs 15 lakh which was promised by the Centre to people will reach them slowly. 

Speaking to the media on Monday, Athawale said, "Rs 15 lakh (promised by the central government in every bank account) will come slowly, not at a single time."

He further said "Asked for money from the Reserve Bank of India but they are not giving. So the amount cannot be collected. There are some technical issues" as reported by ANI.

During the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, current Prime Minister



Narendra Modi had stated that every poor man in the country would be getting Rs 15 lakh in their account. 

This promise was made when he had claimed to bring back black money which was illegally stored in banks in foreign countries. He had said that within 100 days of coming to power he will seize all the black money and return them to the common man. 

On November 8, 2016, the Modi government had announced demonitisation of all Rs 500 and Rs 1000 banknotes, in a move to curb corruption and get hold of black money.
