Of course, he is a great salesman. Gives a complete Bollywood movie style ideal world picture and people fall for it.As much as I dislike Modi I won't blame the man himself for people being idiots . No pun intended

This thread is a disaster, much like demonetisation and the Modi government.
The opposition is too weak or too disjointed to make use of anything. Besides it does help BJP that the most vocal opposition leaders are Ra Ga (declared fool), Didi (declared half-crazy), Mayawati (Corrupt power monger) and AK (Anti-national, anarchist) and leaders from South (who cares a damn about south)No one cares about demonetization. Only the poor got fecked over but they're thinking only the rich suffered which is hardly the ground reality. I don't think this issue single handedly is of much help to the opposition.

One of the biggest blunders ever made in Indian history. A disgrace of a decision.
YupDemon?
Biggest blunders in history? Seriously?

It should be. The poor make up the majority of the nation. As you rightly said, they're the ones which get fecked.
In Indian history as far as politician decisions go then yes.
At best this can be termed as not useful, but a blunder is ott reaction.In Indian history as far as politician decisions go then yes.
Yet to be proven and by some electoral estimates it helped them win UP.
Vida is right. During UP elections, ground reporting showed that poor folks were in favor demonitization because they though it has hurt the rich responsible for their state. It actually did hurt a sizable porting of BJP vote base in traders and small business owners but they bit the bullet and voted for them anyway. Even in GE, the poor are still unlikely to vote against BJP due to demonetization, but I have heard that some in BJP's traditional vote base are still grumpy about it.
At best this can be termed as not useful, but a blunder is ott reaction.
Not useful is very mild way of putting it.
When the people who announced it spend millions still to defend it...When the people who approved it still don't know what the whole exercise was for, of course it's a blunder. An expensive one, for which me and you will pay for.
I did face the impact. This was 2 months after the announcement when I was in India.NRI's will never understand the impact, including me.
So are you denying the rural business sector which was very much cash driven has not been harmed at all. Or for that matter daily wages folks.At best this can be termed as not useful, but a blunder is ott reaction.
It was a short-sighted decision not a long-term one, as the current numbers have shown.Yet to be proven and by some electoral estimates it helped them win UP.
That's what I thought.. You always think the business class was for BJP but demon basically wrecked them..Most of the businessmen I know who were staunch BJP supporters have turned against them.
NRI's will never understand the impact, including me.
Elections are not fought on one policy.Its hard to call it a blunder if BJP still ends up winning the GE next year. I hope they don't get the majority.
All of it is really based on perception though. Almost like how a stock market works. He has drummed up his name and brand enough for people to even doubt him now.Not really. It's not as if we are that disconnected. None of my family back in India would agree it was failure, tbh. Or even extended family. Most of my friends think it was not as effective, but still a good initiative. Modi is seen as someone willing to act, which is a big change from Congress.
Two sides of the coin.
Think the recent arrests were a smokescreen.Besides, BJP is doing enough hard work to make people forget things like demonetization and increasing fuel prices and fight amongst themselves or be worried about Hindu population going down.
Hell, there are so many things wrong with our banking system that makes Demon really insignificant.eroding public confidence in banking system that their money was available for withdrawal whenever in need.
It undoubtedly won them the UP elections however as the time has gone on and there hasn't been literally one single benefit of it shows what a poor decision it was.
The proper chronological order of the decision should have been(if there was even a need of demonitization) it should have been GST to EwayBill to Demon.
So obviously. The so called secret letters put out by the Pune police looked like something an amateur detective story writer would put. It had the names of all the people they wanted to arrest with initials and all, just appending the word "comrade" before every name, as if maoists are fools to not use any code names or anything.Think the recent arrests were a smokescreen.

Besides, opposition is so weak that they can't capitalize on any slip ups by the BJP.

Yes, but Demon was not intended to make our banking systems any more efficient. The basis on which the whole banking system (at least for a layman) is that you put money in your account and that money is safe and available for withdrawal whenever needed.Hell, there are so many things wrong with our banking system that makes Demon really insignificant.
Which is where Hinduism is in danger, the commies in Kerala are eating beef and such stuff come in.Bad state of economy and inflation will hurt BJP no matter what. General populace does not care about ruppe dollar ratio but eventually rising fuel prices will push up prices of basic commodities and that can sink Modi for sure.
I'd be very very surprised if BJP didn't cut the petrol rates by a big margin right before 2019.Bad state of economy and inflation will hurt BJP no matter what.

Thats the idea. I remember last time in 2014, the vegetable prices were an all time low. So much that in common market, the sellers refused to allow people to select tomatoes. You had to take minimum 2 kgs.I'd be very very surprised if BJP didn't cut the petrol rates by a big margin right before 2019.
