1. So what is #Demonetisation really all about? We were told it’s to stop terror attacks. But now the attacks have increased.
2. Then we were told it will cut supply of Indian notes across the border. But terrorists had new notes before most of us did :)
3. Then we were told it’s actually about wiping out #BlackMoney. But even Banks’ own estimates say that very little has come in.
4. Then we were told it’s to take #BlackMoney out of politics. But then the 1st person caught with unaccounted new cash in new notes was… a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) guy.
5. Further when a blogger said the car of MP’s Chief Minister, another Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) man, was stopped with 30 crores cash, he was arrested.
6. We’re told #Demonetisation is to hurt the criminals and not the common man. But no black money evaders have died – while 70 common folks have, waiting in line.
7. We’re told we must tolerate all this for patriotic reasons. But govt made sure political parties are above law & can have unaccounted cash. BJP itself declared 505 cr black money income in 2016
8. We’re told the operation is meticulously planned. But the RBI announces a new rule and regulation every day, each more confusing than the other.
9. We’re told the planning started long ago. But the Rs. 2000 notes are not even in one size, and their colour washes off.
10. We’re told the RBI is on top of it. But then no one seemed to know that each ATM across India has to be recalibrated to accept new notes.
11. In Sep, a #BlackMoney sweep picked up 65,000 cr at a 45% penalty with no pain to common man. This time all this pain is for a 50% penalty
12. Now we’re told it’s not about #BlackMoney or #Terror but it’s about #Digital #Cashless society. But India is a long way from being all digital. All we are now is cashless though.
13. So what is #Demonetisation really all about? We are told, wait and see how India will become great. Then only we’ll realise.
14. Can we accept that nothing was planned or executed well? Rather than owning up to faults, pride of govt & PM doesn’t acknowledge failure.
15. So we have an unplanned, badly executed, lethal & perhaps ineffective country-wide program. And we have to wait with faith because, you know, #AccheDin

8 年Its always easy to comment but is it that difficult to understand what you as a citizen of the can contribute in development. All the points mentioned above have highlighted by the media houses who are controlled by pappu & famlily. Open your eyes & mind too, Be a rational thinker. They had not done anything in past 60 years.

8 年congress voice of frustration.. all bully allegations with no proof... banks did not state that less has come in.. congress did.. the first man to get caught with black money was from AAP and then congress..so again misleading.. have some facts before you blindly allegate...or maybe its just cheap politics for you... shame on those who still wants to support the looters of our country.. 60 yrs of corruptions maybe was not enoughf to fill their pockets hence these people want more of them.. My country now has a respect on international platform.. because of curent govts performance.. unlike the pappu and family who putts our pride to shame.. Wake up India.. Jai Hind...

8 年We in INDIA love negative publicity. Assuming anybody posts positives of demonetization you have few or rather negligible comments, but any person posting criticism however impractical it may sound has a huge following. Many of the European and Israeli press do not carry negative news in the first few pages unlike what we see in INDIA. The press and other media is already bought out by vested interest who do not have interest other than making quick money at the cost of national interest

8 年59!!! That is the number of circulars the RBI has issued on demonetization, or withdrawal of specified bank notes (SBN), in RBI jargon. This changing and chopping of policy and procedure, is enough to show that the whole demonetization project has been ill thought through and arbitrary. Proves the adage that Change is the only Constant ;-)
