The BJP itself continues to take cash donations and shift goalposts. When the demonetisation was announced, they said it was meant to attack black money and counterfeit currency. Once it became apparent that those reasons were nonsense, the government tried to change the narrative into one about a cashless society. Within a fortnight of that, they are already backtracking and saying they meant ‘less cash’ when they said ‘cashless’. The truth is this: demonetisation is a humanitarian disaster that is crippling our economy, and no matter how many times Modi and Co try to rationalise it, it cannot be done. One day, these men will stop trying. When they cannot justify any more, they will distract.
