cash ban puts jaitley in a fix
Demonetisation has not only created
anxiety throughout India but NDA’s Members of Parliament are also perplexed by
Narendra Modi’s master stroke, with many expressing their anger over the move.
The Prime Minister is keeping watch on the discussions and activities of fellow
Parliamentarians. Sources inform that five top-ranking ministers have been
assigned to organise a dinner with BJP MPs where he and Shah will be available
for informal discussions. Each dinner will have 50 MPs. Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley has been assigned to organise one such dinner. Jaitely appeared to be
worried as he narrated the scenario himself. He briefed one journo that his
wife and he had withdrawn Rs. 24,000 each. “Caterers are refusing to receive a
cheque, how I can arrange a dinner of 50 people in Rs. 48,000,” asked Jaitley.
Clearly, even the Finance Minister is feeling the heat. It will take time
before parliamentarians are convinced about cashless transactions!
