Mayawati, the chief of Bahujan Samaj Party, on Sunday expressed her opinion on the recent changes made to currency notes, emphasizing that such decisions should be made only after conducting a thorough study due to their direct impact on public interest. Her comments were made in response to the Reserve Bank of India`s announcement regarding the withdrawal of Rs 2,000 currency notes from circulation. The central bank stated that existing notes can be either deposited in bank accounts or exchanged until September 30.
