New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi held an urgent meeting with senior ministers late on Sunday night to review demonetisation impact and to overcome cash crisis within 50 days as promised by him during a meet in Goa.
Modi in an emotional speech - where he broke down at one point - asked Indians to bear with the currency crunch for 50 days. “I am ready to face any punishment, if I failed,” he added.
