#MODI – THIS OR THAT?

PART-A
We must admire Modi govt in general, and Narendra Modi in particular for

1- maintaining total secrecy about the massive exercise
2- taking such a daring initiaitve that has completely shaken the nation unlike anything ever before. 
3- including the challenges of black money, digital economy, plastic currency, and now enlarging the tax net – all in one grand swell move
4- coming up with as many as 55 executive orders to alleviate people’s suffering in 37 days
5- keeping the confidence and trust of 1.2 billion people who patiently endorse the PM’s sincere push

PART-B
Modi Govt, in general, and Narendra Modi in particular, should be rapped on the knuckles for 
1- not trusting even PM’s close allies and engaging in wide consultation
2- acting in such a Quixotic / Tughlakhic fashion pushing the nation to the brink of economic catastrophe
3- in nervous reaction, shifting goal posts from black money to digital economy, plastic currency and now to enlarging tax net
4- not thinkingh through the move in advance and plan the relief measures as a package, but acting in a knee-jerk fashion
5- misusing the nation’s trust, and compelling crores of innocent Indians to humiliatingly stand in unending queues to exchange and draw their own white money

A- brightening the prospect of an economic upturn and unleashing the potential of honest Indians
