Demonetisation, GST designed to destroy SMEs: Rahul

Demonetisation and  Goods and Services Tax introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi were a well-thought-out strategy for destroying small and medium businesses in the county to clear the way for big players, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday.

He was addressing a public meeting at Chalakudy in connection with the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Thursday.
