Has move stopped corruption? Has black money disappeared?
FORMER Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said,
PM Modi could have consulted former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he would never have leaked the news out to anyone.
45 crore people in the country depend on daily wages. Out of these, 15 crore are employed but the rest 30 crore are doing the daily jobs - the milkman, the washerman, the farmers. They are the worst affected by demonetisation.
Demonetisation is a thoughtless move.
Major markets in major cities are closed. Where does the Prime Minister want to operate a cashless economy?
This only seems to be a move against the rich, however it is most affecting the poor. No one in Delhi/Mumbai can survive a day under Rs 500.
The pain that rural India is facing is indescribable. It is worse than what a natural calamity would do.
Has the move stopped corruption? Has the black money disappeared? It is only an assault on the poor.
A digital economy is desirable but it can't happen so quickly. India will take time to go cashless.
What calculations did the government make when it said every individual can get Rs 24,000? I have not got that amount, so I will complain.
