DEMONETIZATION – A QUEUE TO END ALL QUEUES!!



World War I was a war fought to end all wars. And now we have Demonetization with a Queue to end all Queues. In January we should expect no corruption, cashless or less cash society, no drug mafia, no terrorism, and no political corruption. Full stop!! And we have men and women, hoping for a better tomorrow, dying in Queues. Similarities are remarkable but alas, we have no Russia to reveal the details of back-door treaties. And just one more thing, if there was a WAR to end all wars, there was also a Hitler to follow.

But this is not about demonetization. This is about the implementation. How do we measure success? If only good intentions were to make every policy a success, then I should be the Prime Minister of the county. Then an obvious rebuttal would be how one knows my intentions are good. And that is exactly my point. Good intentions are subjective. What I think is good for the country, may not necessarily be good according to some other person.
So I have some questions I would like to ask BJP.

  •  Is a policy with good intentions and with no implementation plans better than a policy with less ambitious results? 
  •  Also, Plato o plomo. BJP has given us two choices. If we are with them, we are good to go. And if we question them, we are corrupt and hoarders of black money.
  • When the PM said that people have to stand in Queues for sugar, I just to want to ask the government if the job of government is to reduce the number of queues or make more queues.
After BJP decided to take off all the notes 500 and 1000 rupee notes from the market, I was in a dilemma. I always wondered if Mahatma Gandhi, printed on the note, was smiling on us or with us. I think secretly he knew that one day this would happen!!!
