The youth clubs, NSS and others would be involved in the campaign, he said. Speaking to press persons in Hanamkonda on Wednesday, Muralidhar Rao claimed that those, who have supported the demonetisation decision, were going to receive benefits in the ensuing central budget.
Poor and middle class would get increased allocations and subsidies in the budget.

In the days to come the Centre would focus on all sources of black money like benami land transactions.
