New Delhi : (26/03/2019) Congress and other opposition parties today, released a video purportedly showing a “BJP leader” exchanging old notes after demonetisation on a commission of 40 per cent, but did not vouch for the authenticity of the 30-minute footage.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal as well as those from the RJD, Loktantrik Janata Dal, National Conference and TDP, alleged the video was filmed by some journalists in Ahmedabad.
