Faltering opposition

Sir,
The opposition has failed to forge unity on the demonetisation move of the Modi Government even after 50 days though the people are feeling the cash crunch and continue to stand in queues before the banks.  Despite the hardships faced by the common man, who welcomed the demonetisation announced on the night of November 8, people are also confused about how long they have to face the cash crunch. There are reports that the economy is heading for a slide and that the costs of the currency ban may well outweigh its touted benefits. The Modi Government is under severe pressure to justify its decision on the currency ban. This is because the Reserve Bank’s remonetisation efforts have been marred by slow delivery of cash.  Despite a lot of  ammunition to go gunning for the Government, the opposition  has not been able to capitalise on this issue. Secondly, while almost all the opposition parties have been criticising the demonetisation move, they have not come under one umbrella.
Yours etc…
