Hello friends! How are you dealing with PM Narendra Modi’s move to clean up illegal wealth? Seems like a great idea, and a shocker for those hoarding black money. No wonder it was the buzz on all popular social media platforms.
Twitter was no different. The twitterati were quick to share their thoughts in tweetdom. There was praise, and there was criticism. Some shared the immediate effects of the move, such as pictures of people lining up at petrol pumps and how some businesses chose to remain open till 2 am last night; while others infused a sense of humour and sarcasm in their tweets. Some wondered how the PM managed to keep it under wraps until the end. Others mulled the dilemma of journalists across the country — whether to cover the US presidential elections or the demonetisation of the notes. We found the range of reactions on Twitter as interesting as it was far-reaching.
Here’s a glimpse of the mood at the moment.

Modi was able to hide demonetisation schemes better than apple used to hide its iphone programs. #BlackMoney #DeMonetisation
