The Narendra Modi-led BJP government which had come to power at the centre promising ‘ache-din’ during the last Lok Sabha elections is currently seen making the life of the common man more and more miserable day by day in the name of fighting a war against black money in India.
Well, the latest talks of cashless/online transactions of our BJP leaders might excite a few but will such sudden changes practically work in a country like India when majority of the poor middle-class people (most of whom who hardly owe/know to use hi-fi mobiles and never roam with debit cards) who go to work in the private sector earning peanut salaries compulsorily accept the same in hard cash and habitually go around with the same physical cash to make the best of use for their daily needs instead of depositing and later begging for their own hard-earned money making frequent trips in banks for withdrawal?
It’s a known practical fact that the majority of the poor middle-class people in our country, including those doing small business, strictly believe in doing all their transactions only by cash and not through online facilities or using debit cards as they find it very convenient using only cash everywhere. Today, even the poor people who are in the business of selling fish, vegetables and other similar items in all the major markets are practically also seen selling their items only by cash and the reason behind this is because they have to rotate the same cash to buy their daily items almost every next day from here and there. Now, what will be the plight of all these people if they are really forced to go fully cashless and what will happen to all those poor people from villages that frequently go to sell coconuts, flowers, local vegetables, fruits in all the major markets for their own daily survival? Will all these poor people who fully depend on cash to run their families have to wait, run every next day to the banks to withdraw the money of their previous day’s daily sale by even making their entire family to sleep hungry despite of doing a good business an entire day sitting in hot scorching sun in the market?
These are definitely not ‘ache -din’ but ‘Bhayaanak din’ or horrifying days which the poor middle-class people of this country are currently practically experiencing under the Modi-led government and it’s a hard fact.
