Meet the master mind behind the ban of 500 and 1000 Rs notes.
Mechanical engineer Anil Bokil, a member of the ArthaKranti Sansthan, is reportedly the man behind getting the ban on Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. Anil had met Narendra Modi a few months back and suggested that the PM study the roots of corruption, poverty and unemployment.
In an interview with ETV Marathi in 2009 he said, "We are more into physical transaction involving cash (compared to other countries). Because of the physical exchange of cash we do not have any records of the cash transactions between two individuals who have entered into an exchange of money...We should encourage bank transactions or electronic payment modes.
"In the United States, 90 percent of transactions are through the bank and so there is all white money. During elections, political parties bribe each other and in India all these bribery happens through cash, hence there is no record of these currencies, because of which there is corruption and uneven distribution of money."
