NOTE DEMONETISATION
Modi’s theory of relativity: The 50-day deadline for demonetisation
has been stretched indefinitely
The Bharatiya Janata Party has a masterclass on how to wriggle out of
a deadline.

Announced on November 8, the demonetisation of large denomination bank
notes was widely described as a “surgical strike” against black money
and corruption. Bottom-up methods of tackling graft such as the
tightening of controls on real estate and political party funding
would take time and effort. Demonetisation promised a one-shot
solution.

In keeping with this theme of instant results, Prime Minister Narendra
Modi provided a time frame by when demonetisation would show results.

On November 13, at an event in Goa, Modi asked for “only 50 days”.
After that, if there was any fault in the demonetisaton plan, he
dramatically claimed that he would stand in the town square and be
ready to take any punishment the country handed out to him.

“On the first day itself, I said there will be problems till December
30,”he said. “If we have to struggle for 50 days to punish the
corrupt, should we not do it?”

Fifty days have come and gone. While it is anyone’s guess what the
move did to end black money, one thing is for sure: the pain of
demonetisation is still firmly in place. Industry and commerce have
dipped and currency notes are barely trickling out from banks and
Automated Teller Machines in several areas.

Experts estimate it will be months before the presses are able to
print enough notes to get currency back up to earlier levels, and
before the economy can recover from the shock of demonetisation.

Given this situation, the Modi government and the ruling party have
resorted to a novel approach with respect to the original 50-day
deadline he announced: they are trying to obfuscate what the 50-day
aim meant in the first place.

The first semantic twist was instituted by Prime Minister Modi
himself. Speaking to a crowd in Gujarat on December 10, Modi said:
“These troubles will remain for 50 days. But after 50 days – I have
done my calculations – gradually, the situation will be what it was
earlier. After 50 days, you will see for yourself how the situation
improves”.

On November 13, “December 30” was when the pain due to demonetisation
would end. But on December 10, the meaning of the deadline was
changed: it was now a date after which matters would start to improve.
Interestingly, this new formulation refused to provide any end date to
when problems would cease completely, and cash in circulation as well
as industry would go back to pre-November 8 levels.

This semantic shift of the significance of December 30 – and the
refusal to provide any end date to the pain of demonetisation was
picked up by other Bharatiya Janata Party leaders as a way to explain
away the continuing chaos caused by the sudden demonetisation
announcement.

On a television debate show aired on December 30, Bharatiya Janata
Party spokesperson Sambit Patra claimed that, “By 50 days the pain
will peak and after 50 days gradually it would come down to normal.”

When other panellists on the programme contradicted him by referring
to the prime minister’s earlier speeches, Patra attempted to gaslight
them by questioning their linguistic skills. “The problem is many
English-speaking people do not hear Hindi channels,” said Patra. “I
don’t know how many of you understand Hindi.”

When politicians turn to dissimulation of such magnitude, humour and
satire is perhaps a better way to take them on rather than logical
debate. In as much, the best portrayal of the Union government’s
shifty stance on the December 30 deadline came from a comedy sketch
put out by comedy group All India Bakchod.

In the video, a voice rather similar to Modi’s is heard announcing
various deadlines over the radio. It starts with “Mitron, give me
three days only”, gradually moving on to asking for 60 years. In the
end, the voice in the radio turns philosophical. “Mitron! What is
time? Nothing but a state of mind.”
