Silence of Shiv Sena, Akali Dal & LJP is in sharp contrast to unequivocal praise for demonetisation last year, which they celebrated as 'anti-black money day’.
On demonetisation’s second anniversary, reactions from the BJP are muted and defensive, a far cry from celebrating its first anniversary as anti-black money day.
In a Facebook post Thursday, Arun Jaitley said demonetisation was a key step in a chain of important decisions taken by the government to formalise the economy.
The order also directed PMO to disclose information related to deposits made by the government in bank accounts of Indian citizens from the black money brought from abroad.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
If Vinod Rai was asked to estimate the amount it would have been no less than one lakh trillion. I don’t understand why one should be miserly with zeroes?
Tilting at windmills. All this obsession with black money has got us is Demonetisation. At a conservative estimate, the total clandestine wealth held abroad by Indian citizens would be at least $ 2 trillion, say one year’s GDP. The only way it can be retrieved by the nation – the more dismissive would call it round tripping – is to create conditions where it can be attracted back through superior returns on the stock market and other investment opportunities. From a pragmatic perspective, the least desirable approach is to make this the fodder of an election campaign. After a time, voters will yawn.

These people who conducted studies need to be awarded Nobel prize.. our brains supervisor than Chanakya.
