Twitterati mock ongoing cash crunch

New Delhi, April 17

As ATMs ran dry in several parts of the country in a situation that harked back to the days after demonetisation, people took to Twitter to voice their anger. Here are some reactions. 

There used to be dry days for alcohol. Now there are dry days for cash. #CashCrunch

Pink currency notes seem to be turning #Black...Most #ATMs in #Patna have run out of cash... long queues greet the people, who want cash to pay their hospital bills, school fees.... Yet #RBI Patna claims there is no shortage of currency notes...#CashCrunch pic.twitter.com/XX5UZcSPpS

The 'sudden' #CashCrunch in many parts of India is just temporary. Is it likely that the central Govt is flooding Karnataka with cash to keep the BJP candidates loaded?

Just WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

Dear Finance Minister,

Cashless Economy does not mean Cashless Banks and Cashless ATMs.
We hope you understand. 🙏#CashCrunch #CashlessATMs

As the ATMs across the country go dry, people are in trouble because of shortage of currency … Modi government has ruined the Banking system of the country and People have lost their faith in it. #CashCrunch

Demonetisation did not kill terrorism. It did not kill corruption or fake currency either. But it has certainly killed the Indian economy. The cash crisis tells us how Modi's demonetisation disaster is still wreaking havoc.

This govt which still has not been able to count the demonetised currency is asking us to trust its Jumla that there is no cash crunch. After the demonetisation disaster where goalposts were repeatedly shifted and deadlines changed, no one trusts the Modi government anymore.

How Modi Destroyed India's Banking System
-Disaster of Demonetisation & Notebandi Scams benifitted BJP

-13+ Banking Scams where frauds fled after fleecing Rs 61000Cr
-Banks given additional work as Aadhaar-JanDhan
- Now #CashCrunch

Then there were those who fell back on their old friend—humour.

Of course, it's temporary. Only one more year left. #CashCrunch https://t.co/G47AqXyrq4

#CashCrunch in ATMs across many cities. But pls don't panic. The Finance Ministry has reassured there's enough cash in the economy. Where? That he'll tell us as soon as he finds out.

Govt just confirmed that there is no #CashCrunch in ATMs in many states.

People are queuing to get into the Air Conditioned ATMs in this scotching heat.
