>>And anything a former prime minister tells about the opposition party, I would take with a pinch of salt.

A former prime minister who was a distinguished professor of economics at top universities. Has served at the seats of world's top financial institutions and councils. And led the leadership in multiple tenures of Indias central bank. Plus being the finance minister and responsible for drafting and implementing Indias most succesful open market policy ever. This is all mildly putting his career highlights.

How quickly we forget the whole concept of expertise.

These days you go and see experts even in case of a throat itch. Here, we are talking of redoing the entire country's monetary system.

Issue bigger then demonetization is NPA. Banks need appx. $50 billion USD to comply with the new norms. These huge NPA's are given in UPA2 term. Your beloved Manmohan Singh didn't utter a word against this. When the banks are looted systematically.

Finance minister and the PM himself said that they did DeMo to demonstrate their heroics in killing black money.

Should I believe them or you.

For every expert who contradicts, I can point to equal number of similar distinguished people who can support the whole idea of demonetization.

So you want the PM to destroy our economy even in favourable economic conditions where there hasn't been a drought.

I shudder to think what his brand of Jumla economics will do if they face problems in the next two years. It is clear that they have next to 0 understanding of anything other than giving speeches and 'inaugurating' things which were actually built by congress.

I'll settle for RaGa as PM but not a party which takes decisions just for winning elections. and FYI all the LED/Solar schemes were started by Congress, he has just changed names, like 19/28 schemes or something like that.

and not to mention the utter hypocrisy and the contempt they use to address the middle class.

during UPA time the crude oil prices were 150$ per barrel and petrol was 70Rs per liter, not the crude oil prices are 50$ barrel and still prices of petrol are going up.

and at the same time they are wanting that India becomes a manufacturing hub.

I wonder which school they went to, or if they even went to a school for clearly they don't realize that manufacturing industry works on petrol, everything runs on petrol and petrol isn't used by "people are aren't starving like the car and bike owners"

The MLA aren't starving either, why don't they give up their subsidies?

BJP is doing exactly all the things that they opposed when they were in opposition, rise in LPG price, petrol etal.

petrol diesel ki pad rahi hai maar, nahi chaiye BJP sarkar

Please keep idiotic comments like this outside HN

Swami Vivekanand said "talk to people in a language that they understand".

With all due respect, If you or others can't understand the obvious sarcasm then that's on you, not me.

Oh, I do and that was satire not sarcasm.

I accept my mistakes when people aren't a condescending and especially not those who are too stupid to understand satire and if I am talking to stupid people then I ought to write stupid comments, for they don't even understand satire then what else can I hope to write which they understand?

And yes, this "stupid" discussion is over.
