Did Reddy Support or Oppose Modi Decision?

Did Reddy Support or Oppose Modi Decision?

Strange are the ways of Opposition Leader in Telangana assembly K Jana Reddy. Nobody understands exactly as to what he means, when he speaks in the public meetings or party meetings or even the assembly.

Even the Congress MLAs are at their wit’s end as to what he is speaking – whether he is supporting the government or opposing it.

On Friday, Jana once again created this confusion. At a time when the Congress party at the national level was strongly opposing the demonetisation of high value currency and describing it as a big national scam, Jana Reddy spoke in a manner as if he is supporting the move.

He told the Assembly that his party would be with the Telangana government in supporting the Centre’s demonetization move. But, he cautioned that we need to go ahead only after resolving the hardships people are facing.

“We should not give a negative impression to the people that we are also joining in adding problems to them”, he added.

This made one wonder whether Jana was supporting demonetisation. In the same breath, he said it was not possible to make vast majority of digital-illiterate population to move towards cashless transactions.

“First, I need to educate my wife on usage of swipe machines, as she goes every week to vegetable market. Unfortunately, I am also not familiar with swipe machines. So is the case of many people who daily go for various financial transactions. It will take several years to make people digitally literate,” he said.
