An autowallah opined his views about the recent move of demonetization undertaken by the ruling party. Akriti Bhatia, the co-Founder of Jan Ki Baat, probed him to talk about the effects that demonetization has had on his life, both personally and professionally: ┬УIt felt good (when Narendra Modi made his announcement) that finally black money will is destroyed.┬Ф He also said that he didn┬Тt have to face an adverse effects of demonetization as, out of pure luck, he was only paid in lower-value notes.
Demonetization came as a surprise to many when PM Modi declared his, and his government┬Тs intention to clean the nation, on 8 th November 2016. Getting rid of black money formed major chunk of Modi and BJP┬Тs 2014 manifesto. Withdrawal of the legal tender of ?1000 and ?500 met with staunch resistance by some groups and was questioned by many.
#JanJanKiBaat hopes to capture the pulse of the common man and subsequently, understand the direction in which public perception is heading regarding demonetization.
