Correct! It's open for both sides. All governments of India had the resource to manipulate things but did it effect us? The Death of Shastri or the relation of Indira Gandhi didn't effect the common mass in big way! Our daily life remained the same!
During previous government also there were various scams and the same is happening during the current government as well. But the current government is directly affecting common mass. Due to demonetization, millions of people lost their jobs. Thousands of small companies got closed down while the majority of the benefits were passed to certain big conglomerates. Take example of BSNL and JIO - a government run telecom provider doesn't have access to 4G spectrum while a private company is making billions in profit with the same spectrum. BSNL is now not able pay their full time employees and delaying the salary since last 2 months! That's where common mass is getting affected.
If we want to, the can of worms will be opened from both sides! But that's really not the intention of this thread for sure, so I will stop here. I still believe, demonetization is the biggest scam in Indian history which should be probed by an independent authority once the current rulling party goes out of power!
One on hand we have whales who can buy out an entire city, The amount of hoarding of wealth is insane. Govt. and bank's give these people every kind of support and feed on them. One the other hand we have common man working on daily wages and paying most of his money for educational and other loans, who is threatened by the same govt and banks if he misses a few installments.
The whole idea behind this post (whether the news was true or not), is that we need a transparent/trust-less system like BTC
Govt spreads wrong awareness that BTC and other crypto is an aid to money laundering/terrorist funding etc, which is pure horseshit. Everyone knows how dark market vendors and other illegal parties using crypto for payment get busted from time to time.
