When the country’s CEA learns of demonetisation – like the rest of us – by watching TV, that says a lot about the intellectual rigour that marked the decision. Dr Singh’s estimate of loss of 2% GDP is convincing. The effects on the economy are still playing out, along with the double helix of GST. To the extent that this measure has caused so much economic harm to virtually every section of society, it has hurt the incumbent’s Report Card. If a second term does not materialise, pencil in this as a major contributor.
