Of course they did. It was said to remove corruption, stop black money and stop terrorism. Just emotional non sense and fake hopes. It shut a lot of people's mouths as they labelled the opposers as anti national. There was a lot of online abuse to netizens as well. Still is.

They efficiently managed to pull off this massive failure without widespread anger.

Words can do a lot of damage than weapons. Gandhi used it for uniting people into a good cause and this guy uses it for his own fantasies.

I'm glad the veil is coming off though. People are disgruntled that it's just talk and no work.
