As opposition escalated its attack over demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reached out to people directly for feedback by asking the public to convey their views to him via his App by answering a set of questions.

He asked the public to participate in a survey on Narendra Modi App where 10 questions, with various options, have been posed with regard to scrapping of old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes.

"I want your first-hand view on the decision taken regarding currency notes. Take part in the survey on the NM App," he tweeted. The same was tweeted in Hindi too.

The questions included "Do you have any suggestions/ideas or insights you would like to share with PM Narendra Modi." 

Some of the other questions asked are:

"Do you think black money exists in India? 

"Do you think the evil of corruption and black money need to be fought and eliminated? 

"What do you think of government's move of banning old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes? 

"Do you mind inconvenience faced in our fight to curb corruption, black money, terrorism and counterfeiting of currency?" 

The Prime Minister's move to gauge the views of the people directly comes at a time when the opposition has escalated its attack on the issue of demonetisation.
