During A Candid Debate On Demonetisation, Modi Looked VERY Pained Then Just Bounced

    To recuperate from the savagery that was Manmohan Singh and Derek O'Brien, Modi left.

    Unless your permanent address is Under A Rock, India, you know that Modi's demonetisation scheme has torn the nation apart for two weeks. However, according to his survey, 90% of Indians believe the decision to have been "brilliant".

    So, when former PM Manmohan Singh took the mic to rip demonetisation to shreds this morning in Rajya Sabha...

    Modi was not pleased.

    When Singh was done, All India Trinamool Congress member Derek O'Brien made an impassioned argument against the note ban too.

    And, well...

    Everyone's favourite quizmaster really, really didn't hold back.

    And PM Modi didn't make any attempts to hide the fact that he wanted to GTFO.

    O'Brien turned up the heat.

    And this guy just wanted to leave the kitchen.

    After the house was adjourned for lunch, Modi chose not to return when the session reconvened. His opposition was not happy and took to chanting.

    Since Modi's presence at the debate had been promised, MPs assembled to chant, "Toote vaade band karo, band karo."

    So the Rajya Sabha was adjourned, and the debate went nowhere. Woo!

    Rajya Sabha adjourned till tomorrow. #Disrupted

    Twitter, of course, had a field day.

    Modi in Parliament is like money in the ATMs. Absent.

    The Narendra Modi Roast is under way. With Roast Masters, Manmohan Singh and Derek O'Brien. Please insert your own laugh track.

    Meanwhile, me watching our national affairs descend into a fiery pit of ego-driven pettiness:
