‘ನೋಟು ರದ್ದತಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದಂತೆ, ನನಗೆ 50 ದಿನ ಸಮಯಾವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಿ, ಅಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಅಡಚಣೆಯನ್ನು ನನಗಾಗಿ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇಶಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸಹಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ’ ಎಂದು ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ 50 ದಿನ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಂಡಾಗ, ಈಗಿನ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳು ಮಾತ್ರ ಕೊನೆಗೊಂಡಿರುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅವರ ಈ ತೀರ್ಮಾನ ತರುವ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಲಾಭಗಳೇನು, ಒಟ್ಟು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನ ಏನು ಎಂಬುದು ನಮಗೆ ಅರಿವಾಗಲು ತಿಂಗಳುಗಳೇ ಬೇಕು.

The government of Gujarat itself is generally considered by scholars to have been complicit in the riots,[2][3][4] and has otherwise received heavy criticism for its handling of the situation.[91] Several scholars have described the violence as a pogrom, while others have called it an example of state terrorism.[92][93][94] Summarising academic views on the subject, Martha Nussbaum said: "There is by now a broad consensus that the Gujarat violence was a form of ethnic cleansing, that in many ways it was premeditated, and that it was carried out with the complicity of the state government and officers of the law."[3]
In his first cabinet decision, Modi set up a team to investigate black money.[202] On 9 November 2016, the government demonetised ₹500 and ₹1000 banknotes, with the stated intention of curbing corruption, black money, the use of counterfeit currency, and terrorism.[203] The move led to widespread protests throughout the country, including one by opposition parties, which stalled the winter session of parliament.[204] In the days following the demonetisation, banks across the country faced severe cash shortages,[205][206][207] which had detrimental effects on a number of small businesses, on agriculture, and on transportation. People seeking to exchange their notes had lengthy waits, and several deaths were linked to the rush to exchange cash.[208][209]
