What are you talking about? I have seen more than 10-15 tweets from a number of people alerting the authorities of the possibility of a stampede at this very spot. All of those tweets are from the last 1-2 years. If they could sense it so precisely then there was definitely an infrastructure...

GST rates are too high, short-sighted policy from the govt which we have come to expect by now. Eventually consumption will go down. If one has to pay 28% tax on something, he will think twice before buying it. Even the 18% slab, which covers most of the things, is higher than it should have been.

Good article. It goes beyond usual rhetoric and presents facts and numbers. There's only one thing I didn't like about it. Jaitley has been singled out as the fall guy while shielding Modi. Perhaps like other BJP members, Sinha is scared of Modi too. The guy can go to any extent to take revenge...

Why 4? You can share 100 such links. That doesn't add extra value to your argument, I will wait for the day when there's some concrete result. The bottom line is that demonetization has absolutely crippled the economy. Even the govt knows it. That is why they are making yet another U-turn in...

Yes, and I despise a leader who would risk the economy of the country and livelihood of millions to win a state election. Regards!

I am not willfully blind, update me when the govt catches black money holders, as a result of Demonetization. I have had enough of Modi govt's jumlas already. When the demonetization was first announced, I, on this very forum wanted to give the benefit of doubt to the govt. You can dig up my...

So why aren't they ministers now? Have the gods/goddesses abandoned India after seeing sanghis using them for votes?

It wasn't a jumla. A jumla is something you promise to fool the masses but can't deliver like bringing back black money from abroad etc. Demonetization was a real blunder, one that's showing real negative consequences. If this was done in a country like the US, thousands of people would have...

Yes, on the old base year, it would be down by around 2 points if 2013-14 GDP numbers are of any significance. It was 4.7%, but went up to 6.9% overnight. Modi's term so far is either similar to UPA2 or worse (last two Qs after demonetization). Real numbers are somewhere beatween 3.5-4%. BTW...

Q1 GDP numbers just came in and lo and behold it's 5.7%. Remember Q4 of last fiscal year was 6.1%. @Tridibans still supporting demonetisation?

You can spin it any way you want but it was introduced to lower the load on the printers which is just another manifestation of how ill-conceived and unplanned the whole exercise was.

That's what cult leaders do. They manage to brainwash a large section of the population and basically turn them into virtual slaves with absolute obedience. It takes a while for the cult to fade.

It's a dead horse now, don't have the time or energy to flog it any more. But to give you a small idea how boneheaded the whole process was, they actually introduced a new 2000 rupee note to replace the 1000 rupee one, go figure!

Now wait for the twists from Modi-bhakts. For them, India jaye bhar mai, hum to bhakti karenge.

If a PM can play with the economy just for political gains, he's a scum who would lead us to hell for further gains. Modi - 1, India - 0 Also your assumption that only opposition had black money is quite hilarious, you mean Modi made provisions for BJP's cash to be washed clean? This...

He's not the only one getting away due to "lack of evidence". I can think of another very prominent one. I pointed out this particular week. Salman wasn't acquitted this week.

Great week for Indian judiciary to be honest. First the triple talaq verdict, then declaring privacy as a fundamental right and now this pakhandi baba got convicted for rape. Kudos!

Typical Chinese coward, attacking from behind. :lol:

You can not stop people from following superstitions but the point is about keeping religion separate from governance.

People are like sheep, that is why we have this bhakt phenomena in politics. Look at what happened in Delhi after IG was killed. You think it would be any different if tomorrow Modi gets convicted for something? His bhakts would burn down the same country that they claim to love so much.
