Through this move, around 24 lakh employees and pensioners will be benefited.
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation decision, Yadav said, "We all want black money to end but, demonetisation without adequate preparation has thrown people in trouble. Farmers are in distress. Those who were talking of 50 days are now talking of 50 more days."
Hinting at UP Assembly elections, he asserted that those who are standing in queues outside banks to get cash today, will soon stand in lines to teach a lesson to the Centre.
Rejecting the claims of rift in the party, he said that such issues keep coming up.
