Chetan Bhagat’s Take On Demonetisation is Surprisingly Anti-Modi
The unbelievable has happened! Chetan Bhagat is no longer a Modi panderer.
In a surprising turn of events, my Rs 500 and 1000 notes became historical artefacts and Chetan Bhagat’s allegiance dwindled on Tuesday night.
(Aside: Hillary Clinton lost that night too)
The reason why these two pieces of information, which seem unrelated, are bundled together is because one is a subset of the other.
When PM Modi surgically extracted currency notes from a cashless economy overnight, all his bhakts but one supported him selflessly: Chetan Bhagat. The man who has six books in his kitty took a surprising detour and lambasted the move.
In “tweet storm” fashion, he dragged the government’s decision to demonetise the economy. Here’s how that went:
Since this man has had an opinion about everything, including feminism from a woman’s perspective, this tweet storm isn’t an anomaly, but his non-allegiance towards Modi is. This too will sit on our “Give an Opinion That no one Cares About” wall, proudly.
The demonetisation policy has irked the common man and woman, lets hope that the government sees through the mess of sycophants and ponders a little more over the policy.
