The Govt calls it Demonetisation. The opposition calls it Demonisation. Whatever it is called, in the hungama over the last ten days, one thing kept repeating in my mind. And that is this.
" The politicians don't know you, and they don't care"!
So, over the counter exchange of money started off with Rs.4000/- and then became Rs. 4500/- and then Rs. 2000/- and even the bankers are confused how much can be given everyday over the counter. The rest of the money can only be deposited in the banks!
The only problem here is, out of the 100 crores of people in India, around 40 crores don't know what a bank is! And of the other 60 crores, around 30 crores have not operated the banks once. Oh ya, the politician does not know the statistic. Even if he does, he does not care!
And the stark reality is, there are 33% of the 67% of people living in the villages (Approx 20 crores people) don't have electricity to be running a bank. Does the politician know this? Who cares!
Well, there were 17 changes of rules in the last 12 days. Every time the politician finds a new thing about you, a new rule is made. So when he knew that you get married, marriage was given a concession in withdrawing money! And when he realized about the Rabi crops and the seeds and the fertilizer money, a new rule was formed. Hell NO! He has never heard the word Rabi crops before. Does he care? Heavens answer!
Oh yes, they realized that you use petrol to travel, pay toll fee, get admitted in hospitals and for sure the new rules came about then and there.
So, after 12 days, 10% of the money taken out had been replaced! There is no smell of the Rs.500/- and the Rs. 1000/- notes which were promised. The ink has run out of the printing press and since it was kept secret, there is no back up of printing ink.
70 people have died! Do they know you die? If patients are not admitted on time, If children are not given food on time, if we stand in a long queue for hours, if the bankers are stressed! Oh yes, you die! The politician does not know death happens. Even if he does, so what?
Dear India! Your rulers didn't know you then! And they don't know you now! They never will know you, ever. For they don't care!

Look "strong" - check
Bring our social media troops together - check
Be the centre of all news - check
Well i think this has been a great success for a politician :)
I hope some future govt does a white paper on the effects and documents this so no others fools in the future will repeat this.
Wat will happen next
Claim x amount of new accounts have been opened - which will go defunct once things come back to normal.
Claim X amount of money was deposited - which means nothing
Claim inflation came down - only to go up once ppl get access to their money
Claim they act tough against "black money" and that no one will be spared.
Rinse and repeat
