Ujire (Karnataka), Oct 29 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that India could not lag behind in the “digital currency era”, as he took a dig at “stalwarts” who had mocked his government’s push for digital transactions.
“Now an era of digital currency has started, and India should not lag behind,” Modi said at a rally here, about 50km from Mangaluru in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada.
He said digitisation was aimed at bringing in accountability and added that more cash would bring with it social evils.
