Where the demonetisation debate turns bizarre is when self professed well-informed critics take a single data point, like return of 99 percent of devalued currency, and argue that this signifies "utter failure of the motive" and hence demonetization has failed. This attempt to base a sweeping judgement on a single matrix is being done by that section of the elite upper class and / or leftovers - who suffer from a reflexive derision of Modi, and wouldn't budge from making a political point in the garb of economic prudence.

But we have gone beyond that,” said a state finance minister, who has usually sided with the Centre on most issues. The minister said the “block” was too big and needed to be reduced.  The second state FM said the issue is expected to be discussed at the next meeting of the Council scheduled in Guwahati, given the concerns expressed by several states. “In the medium-term the aim is to move to fewer slabs,” the minister said.
