What Bhakts said and what happened ?
1] Demonetization will stop fake currency circulation.
- Fake currency starts off from their favourite United States of Gujarath and goes across the country.
2] It will stop terrorists funding.
- 3 terrorists held with the New Rs. 2000 note currency, while poor still stand in long queues at banks.
3] Black money will be stopped and black money holders will be jailed.
- SBI waives off loans of more than 50 loan defaulters including Vijay mallya.
4] Demonetization will boost economy
- All markets affected due to lack of sales activities in the past 2 weeks.
- Dollar is higher than ever at Rs. 68.14/ USD.
5] 15 Lakhs will surely com into ur account.
- Government takes people's own hard earned money to fee the crony capitalists, even at the cost of 56 people's death till today.
