Pradip Bhandari, the CEO and Founder of Jan Ki Baat spoke to the supporters of the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who had been waiting outside Kejriwal┬Тs office for 3 hours. The workers were told that Kejriwal would arrive at 10 am but even at 2 pm there was no sign of the Delhi CM in sight. His supporters, however, were willing to wait for as long as required. One amongst them even compared the waiting-in for Kejriwal with the long queues at ATMs and Banks, a common view post-demonetization in India, saying he could wait for hours for Kejriwal, which was better than standing in queues to withdraw money.
8th November 2016 proved itself to be a surprise for the whole of India, with PM Narendra Modi announcing his government┬Тs issuance of a ban on two of the highest denomination Notes. The move, designed to delete the existence of black money and black economy, couldn┬Тt have been discussed as secrecy and confidentiality were required. The decision, for it hopes to fulfil, has also received criticism from various segments of the society.
#JanJanKiBaat hopes to understand the direction in which demonetization, as its perceived by the public, is heading towards.
