Most of the political parties in the country to earn the political mileage, started criticizing Modi, after he announced the demonetization decision on November 8th. In fact, when the public is seen facing difficulties in the long queues outside the banks and ATMs, even the political analysts felt that, it would jolt BJP.
They even speculated that, these by-polls would show a severe negative impact on Modi’s government. But to the shock of all such opposition leaders and analysts, BJP went strong in the elections. If everything goes on the right track, after December 30th, which is the deadline to exchange old currency, it is inevitable for BJP to form the government in 2019 again.
