Bypoll outcome reveals that BJP is untouched by 'Demonetisation'.
Demonetisation no demon for PM Modi; BJP wins in bypolls,app survey on popular mood
Resultsof bypolls held for four Parliamentary seats and 10 Assembly seats indicatethat the citizens of India are, by and large, willing to give Prime Minister Narendra Modimore time following his demonetisation move. Bypolls werespread across six states — Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Tripura,Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu — and one Union Territory, Puducherry, and hadevoked additional curiosity in political and social circles because theywere held exactly 10 days after the decision to discontinue Rs 500and Rs 1,000 currency notes.
Pollpatterns and results were expected to be indicative of the popular mood,whether people still trust Modi and his capacity to deliver. But though thedemonetisation drive has been hard on people, forcing thousands to endure hoursin queues at ATMs and banks, results of the bypoll can be considered as peoplecontinuing to be patient with the government and its policies. So although it'sperhaps too early to take it as a popular thumbs-up, it can still be consideredthat people tend to think of the move as being for the long-term populargood.
