He should ask them whether the east of doing business for them in the country has gone up or down. Whether they were in profit or loss. The whole country would shout out that there was no ease of doing business in the country. You have destroyed the economy through demonetization and GST”

‘But they won’t listen to the voice of the country and would believe the report issued during a press conference in a foreign country,’ he said.
