Nath, who was here to campaign for the party for the February 15 Assembly elections, accused the Centre of informing it's industrialist friends about demonetisation in advance and securing the money it needed for the polls.

"Now the same black money is being used openly by the party to contest elections. BJP candidates are spending heavily in these polls which obviously they are not doing by selling their wives' jewellery," he said.

Calling Modi a seasoned player of the politics of rhetoric, he said now the PM will come here, thump his chest and tell the people that he was fighting against black money.
