We need the support of as many parties as possible for the sake of the country. For us, country is more important than party,” he said. He appreciates the stand taken by the TRS government in supporting demonetisation by the Prime Minister. Dattatreya said a majority of the political parties were supporting the move. It was only parties like Congress,

Trinamul Congress and trade unions of Communist parties are opposing the move. He said the Congress, Trinamool Congress and Left parties obstructed the proceedings of Parliament during the Winter Session.
