Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel today led a Mobile and Digital Banking campaign along with young volunteers of the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan at Delhi’s Rajiv Chowk. As the demonetisation phase completes one month, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports promotes the benefits of online banking and boosts the methods of cashless transactions. The Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan which comes under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will be leading this initiative and has invited interested youngsters to participate in the various training camps being organised across India.

Commenting on the same, Vijay Goel said, “I salute this revolutionary step taken by our Honorable Prime Minster Sh. Narendra Modi ji. Sh. Narendra Modi ji has utmost faith in youth of the country and believes that the youth will contribute immensely towards promoting “Digital Economy”. It’s our job to cooperate with him and take the nation to towering heights”.

The crowd at the mobile banking centre of NYKS at Rajiv Chowk was thronged by people from all walks of life, from tea-sellers to senior citizens. Suyash who came with his friends hailed PM’s efforts and stated that despite long queues, people are willing to bear the inconvenience for a greater good. Another lady Kavitha shared that the demonetisation process has prompted her to learn about the various digital banking methods and appreciated the young volunteers of the Ministry of Youth Affairs for their mobile banking help centres.

Goel further stated, “I do agree that with Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes being banned, people would have faced and might continue to face problem for another month.  However, one must see the farsighted benefits of this initiative. Under the leadership of Sh. Narendra Modi the nation would definitely move towards reducing the economic and social differences prevalent in the society. In addition to this, in the coming 15 years, India will certainly achieve the position of a global leader for which the transformation has already begun”. Nehru Yuva Kendra is imparting training to public all over India in and till now 1.5lakh youth have been trained in mobile banking. NYKS has also invited youth who can teach mobile banking for which recruitment will be done on Sunday, 11 December 2016. Those interested can join the drive at 11am at National Stadium.

In order to counter the rumour mongering and provocative statements by the Opposition parties against PM Narendra Modi’s bold move of demonetisation against black money,
Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel led a Janta Ka March in Delhi’s Paharganj area. Hundreds of youth and members of various organisations took part in the march voicing their support for PM Modi with a banner “Youth Against Black Money”.

Goel led “padyatras” and visited each shop to create awareness among the traders and business communities about digital modes of payment and transactions which will help them to continue their busines in a simplified way and would bring in transparency and strengthen economy of the nation.

All trade unions hailed PM Modi’s move and declared that they would keep their shops open and pay no heed to the Opposition’s demand for Bharat Bandh on 28th November, 2016. Goel stated that the so called Bharat Bandh has already failed.

Goel started off the march by sweeping away fake currency with a broom which he stated as the second Swachhta Abhiyan after PM’s first Swachhta Abhiyan against garbage. The act displayed the message that PM Modi with his bold move of demonetisation has hit the organisations which indulge in counterfeit currency and black money.

Interacting with the media Goel said, “One man is determined to clean the nation and make it free from black money and corruption but few parties and their leaders with vested interests are hell bent to create problems for the government and safeguarding the corrupt”. Goel added that there will be more padyatras to create awareness among the masses and deter the negative propaganda and series of lies being spread by the Opposition parties to misguide the public.

In order to counter the rumour mongering and and provocative statements by the Opposition parties against PM Narendra Modi’s bold move of demonetisation against black money,
Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel will lead a Sahyog March for which a special meeting was held today. The team has been named “Youth Against Back Money” and the strategy to counter the Opposition’s rumour mongering and lies was discussed at Goel’s residence.

Goel said that such teams would be created across Delhi who would help the public in creating awareness and helping them with various rules relating to demonetisation. Goel further stated that leaders of Opposition parties are disturbed with PM Modi’s growing popularity post this bold decision and hence resorted to rumour mongering and creating misconceptions among the public to deter the transition process. These parties are only concerned about their political gains and not worried about the public.

Goel attacked Congress leader Kapil Sibal and said that the current government is not ineffective like Manmohan Singh’s and swift action have been taken to help all who have been in need. The Opposition instead of praising the government’s pro-people approach is hell bent to create problems and create confusion among the public regarding demonetisation.

Attacking former PM Manmohan Singh, Goel said that despite being an economist Singh never spoke a word about the scams during his tenure which lead to accumulation of black money. Opposition has united against one man due to his growing popularity among masses otherwise these parties never come closer given the difference in their ideologies and style of working.

Goel mentioned that queues outside banks have reduced as cash flow has increased and majority of ATMs have been recalibrated. A mega march will begin from Paharganj railway station on 27th November, 2016 to expose the divisive forces that have been misguiding the public. The volunteers will sport blue t-shirts with a social message and will join Vijay Goel to discuss positives of demonetisation with senior citizens and people from other walks of life to create awareness among all.

Goel has also stated that he and the volunteers will enlighten the business communities about digital payment methods that will bring in transparency and enable ease of business. Lok Abhiyan and many other organisations will be part of the Sahyog March.

In order to counter the rumour mongering and flow of fake and provocative statements by the Opposition parties against PM Narendra Modi’s bold move of demonetisation against black money, Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel will lead a March for Demonetisation and create awareness among the public. Addressing the media during a press conference, Goel stated that the first mega rally to support the demonetisation scheme would begin at Delhi’s Paharganj area on 27th November, 2016 where he will address businessmen as well as people from all walks of life. He will interact with various business communities and enlighten them about the various digital modes of transactions. He will also appeal to the masses that PM Modi’s decision is aimed to create a clean India for all and the public must reject all divisive tactics and lies being spread by some political parties which had pushed the nation into darknessduring their rule.

PM Modi’s decision to ban Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes is not only historic but also symbolises the strong political will of the current government unlike the Congress which despite its long stint at the Centre failed to take any bold step to uplift the nation’s economy and clean up the black money.

Goel stated that he and many other volunteers within Delhi and outside the capital have stated that despite initial problems, everyone has hailed PM’s move and are cooperating as per the rules and regulations. Goel also added that the Opposition isn’t protesting against the problems that people are facing in the initial phase of demonetisation but can’t stand the PM’s growing popularity among the masses. “Earlier the Opposition used to question PM’s motive regarding black money but now when he has taken a drastic measure to curb the menace of black money, the same parties are hell bent to create hurdles for the government. It seems they have been hurt”, Goel said.

Goel also mentioned that during Congress rule, kids used to line up outside ration shops, kerosene shop and so on. He said that some sections are aiming at fulfilling their vested interests eg. some bank officials have allegedly transferred funds in their family members’ name which is highly objectionable and therefore every person must keep in mind the national interest instead of selfish gains.

Goel added that some parties are using the social media to provoke people using fake news. He cited the example of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who had tweeted the image of a thief who went to loot a bank but committed suicide as he feared arrest, but Kejriwal projected it as if this was a person who failed to withdraw cash and ended his life. Even Rahul Gandhi had made contradictory statements saying that all BJP leaders knew about the decision way before it was made public but then he stated that the decision was so secret that none including Finance Minister were aware of it. The Opposition has even gone to the extent that the government waived off loans of big corporate houses but failed to provide any proof for the same while some news were found to be fabricated. Most of the surveys conducted so far have pointed towards the fact that the people are willing to face the initial difficulties and wholeheartedly support PM Modi in his fight against corruption and black money.

A day after Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports
administered a pledge to hundreds of youth at Rajghat to support PM’s Surgical Strike on
Black Money under the recent demonetisation scheme, Goel today visited various banks in
Delhi’s Paharganj area to check their preparedness for the process.

Goel also set up a public support camp along with Bharatiya Janata Party volunteers in order
to help various sections with the formalities related to the currency exchange scheme. The
volunteers have also made arrangements for water and refreshments for the people lining up
outside the banks. Goel was seen interacting with the masses and knowing their grievances.
He even spoke to several bank officials in the area and suggested that they open more
counters for extended hours in order to help the public in a better and efficient manner.

During his interaction with the public, Goel urged them to support the PM’s decision as it’s
for the overall good of the nation and can be successful only with people’s cooperation. He
also stated that there are some initial problems but people are cooperating in the entire
process which was evident from the feedback of many standing in the queue. He even
appreciated the bank officials who are helping the public in long queues.

Interacting with the media Goel said, “Some political parties are engaging in rumour-
mongering in order to misguide people and deter the process of smooth transition.” “These
political leaders who are spreading rumours are worried by the PM’s growing popularity post
the bold decision to ban Rs.500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes to curb black money”, Goel
added. Goel also urged the volunteers of the BJP to setup similar public support camps across
Delhi and other regions to help the masses and the weaker sections.

Earlier, Vijay Goel hailed PM’s initiative and termed it the second “Swachhta Abhiyaan” to
free the nation from corruption and malpractice. He further stated, “The ones who have
stashed black money are blaming the government and misguiding the public but those leading
an honest life are happy with the PM’s historic decision”, he added.

Union Minister Vijay Goel has congratulated PM Narendra Modi and the
countrymen for the bold move to stop circulation of ₹500 and ₹1000 currency notes. In a surprise move
which stole the thunder from the US Presidential Elections, PM Modi addressed the nation last night and
stated that the move was aimed to curb the menace of black money and the use of counterfeit notes to fuel
terrorism and other ills. Goel took to Twitter and hailed the decision as a “surgical strike on black money”.

Goel further stated that though people will find it difficult to deal with the situation in the initial phase but
the various methods taken by the government for the time being will help the citizen. “Any bold move
aimed to keep the nation clean and corruption free causes trouble to those who work with disguised notions,
but PM’s move will strengthen our economy and help to tackle the menace of terror funding and counterfeit
currency.” He further mentioned that the response has been phenomenal and people have hailed the historic
step taken by the government. “Those living life honestly are happy with this decision”, he added.

PM Modi during his address to the nation stated that the government has been fighting the menace of black
money and corruption ever since it assumed power two years ago. He also urged people to help government
in its fight against fake currency and black money.
