Narendra Modi needs a holding strategy for the economy till 2019
The government is widely seen to have faltered on four major counts. It is accused of failing to tackle the over-hang of demonetisation, poor implementation of GST, containing prices and inability to create new jobs. Macro-economic interventions will take more than a couple of quarters to yield results. In the interim, Modi requires a "holding strategy" till 2019.

CLUELESS OPPOSITION DOES NOT REALISE MODI HAS CHANGED RULES OF THE GAME

Demonetisation — a watershed moment in Narendra Modi’s Prime Ministership
Only this morning, one read a former Union Minister of the Congress in the UPA 2 government say — the Prime Minister should have cut short his foreign trip and returned to India in the light of the chaos and commotion that ensued following demonetisation.

THIS IS WAR ON BLACK MONEY, PLEASE STOP WHINING
Ours is an amazing nation. First, we dare the Prime Minister to act on black money. When he doesn’t, we accuse him of ‘jumla baazi’. Amnesty schemes are announced and we taunt the Government for the poor response. If raids follow, we cry foul of “tax terrorism”. When demonetisation happens champions of banking inclusion suddenly remember they never asked their domestic staff to open Jan Dhan Yojna accounts. And, finally, a generation that made a virtue of standing in line for everything — rail tickets, cinema tickets, football tickets, water, kerosene, ration, temples and Ganapati pandals — suddenly realise queues are the worst form of oppression.
MODI'S WAR ON BLACK MONEY HAS JUST BEGUN, BRACE FOR MORE
The demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most audacious move till date, is mind blowing in its impact and mind-boggling in its implications.
When the Prime Minister had warned “Don’t blame me for tough action on black money after September 30 (the last day of the amnesty scheme)”, not too many people would have paid heed to his words. Later he even spoke of a ‘surgical strike’ on black money. What people expected at best was a step-up in tax raids and seizures for a while. There were sly attempts to put the Government on the back-foot by coining terms such as “tax terrorism”.
