Let me rewind some of my columns on #DemonetisationDisaster

My last year's detailed take in @frontline_india on

"BLUSTER AS A POLICY"

frontline.in/cover-story/bl…

I concluded that article with the following observations

#DemonetisationDisaster

Of course, in that article I have given an estimate of how much currency is seized as black money due to #DemonetisationDisaster

This is the wisdom available with Government before #DemonetisationDisaster.

Read this and sink in that, no macro-economist will suggest you to take away 86% of your currency & throw your economy to ICU

This was the scorecard after perusing RBI Annual Report of 2016-17

Look at the disproportionate printing cost & how the surplus was tanked!

#DemonetisationDisaster

This article for @thewire_in was a clinical examination of whether India moved to the digital Utopia offered by the Emperor!!

If you still have doubts look at CIC?

We will soon back to pre-demon CIC/GDP ratio
thewire.in/business/digit…

The great Income Tax growth story was busted through a series of articles starting from this one!

Some still trust the propaganda that DeMon created miracles!

No one asks Govt why they plunder RBI after record tax collections?

thewire.in/business/fact-…

Aww..The above article forced the MoF to issue a clarification!!!

But you cannot cover a lie with another big lie!

So it's easy to expose them!

thewire.in/economy/modi-c…

That article was followed up with another one!

Read this and understand what is really happening on the ground rather than swallowing what Bureau Chief voimts

thewire.in/economy/demone…

Next there was orgasams about a less CIC/GDP ratio followed by RBI Annual Report of 2016-17, no one bothered when cash was taken away from the system, Tughlaks were killing the golden goose!

So I put these facts at public domain for better understanding

thewire.in/economy/india-…

Nothing will prevent the Bureau Chief to peddle alternative truths!!

With his master oratory, he can mesmerise you

With his networking skilla he can make the Lyuten's cohorts to wag their tales according to the biscuits thrown at them..

This was my major blockbuster blogpost during the peak of #DemonetisationDisaster.

Thank you all for pushing me for converting my thread to blogs & articles

When our Panna Pramukhs joined the IT Cell and were singing the praise songs of #DemonetisationDisaster & trying to make you believe that 3-4 lakh crores of currency will get as windfall gains, I told you in Dec 2016 that its a white lie & more than 15 lakh crores will return

I given in this blog post a detailed analysis on fake currency..

I told you then that all those narratives of lakhs of crores currency was just a figment of imagination & dont have any scientific evidence

Now on this 2nd Anniversary of #DemonetisationDisaster when @NH_India asked me to take stock of the situation once again,

I done a final analysis on the greatest chicanery done on the nation.

DEMONETISATION: A CIRCUS, CLOWNS AND A SILVER BULLET

nationalheraldindia.com/opinion/demone…

Let me take you to 2 years back.

Recollect how you received the incantations from the greatest actor India has ever produced.

He cast a spell on you!

Give me 50 days to restore normalcy else burn me alive!!

Who written that script?

A nation was at awe!

#DemonetisationDisaster

Entire citizenry made mere clowns by the regime and their megaphone media.

Chicanery employed as an effective weapon to manipulate an entire nation...

Never ever forget #DemonetisationDisaster & the poor sacrificial lambs

This is how they taken us for granted.

We were that chosen Guinea pigs for the Global Fintechs to experiment, as our regime listened and obliged!

Our media shown us their true colours without any shame!

Entranced by the story told to them by a snake oil salesman who dangled the carrot of a clean, corruption-free India, the public grinned & bore the tribulations of living in a cash-depleted economy as they had visions of the evil rich getting their comeuppance...

A government which believes that repeating a lie enough times makes it a truth should be expected to do worse. That unfortunately is the bane of the country.

Now they want to plunder the RBI reserves for their crony sponsors!!

Their audacity is damn frightening!!

As they are licking their fangs imagining the very possibility of the great plunder of RBI coffins, let's recall their tall economic claims

Mega revenue of lakhs of crores from Telecom and Coal Mine auctions
Great Indian Petrol loot of lakhs of crores from the heaviest duties

They are also claiming that all time record income tax collections and indirect tax bonanza from GST!

All bogus companies were wiped out and big jump in corporate tax too!

But still they want to loot RBI?

Why? Dont search for logic or reasoning in their actions!

While their crony friends are pumping back the share to the regime through electoral bonds, we achieve the fancy heights of transparency!

When they divide the country on the basis of religion and language, we are finding new meanings for unity in diversity!

How long they can keep us in state of stupor using that religious opium?

No idea!

It is our choice that whether we should remain in this coma or wake up from this deep slumber and see that they are plundering us for their cronies

Or we can go for a pilgrimage to visit the tallest statues in Gujarat to UP to Maharashtra....

There are no courts or media to hold them accountable when they waste our tax money in statues instead of food, health and education!

These are my random thoughts on this #DemonetisationDisaster anniversary.

I think there is a ray of hope as people of Karnataka spoken emphatically rejecting the divisive policies of this regime! It is for the rest of us to follow the line.

END of rants!
