Rajya Sabha was all supposed to be about heated arguments on Narendra Modi’s master stroke on blackmoney-demonetisation but then a Samajwadi Party member-Naresh Agrawal still managed to make the Modi and Finance Minister Arun jaitley laugh.
Agrawal was talking about demonetisation, when he joked about the level of secrecy maintained before the demonetisation rolled out.
"There are those who say the Prime Minister did not take even Arun Jaitley into his confidence. If Arun ji had known, he would have hinted it to me, since he knows me," Agrawal said.
Initially, both PM Modi and finance minister looked taken aback, for a moment but then burst out laughing.

"Don't worry for your safety, at least in Uttar Pradesh," he said.
Agrawal was referring to an emotional, slightly melodramatic comment PM Modi made in the Lok Sabha recently. The PM had said that forces opposed to his crackdown on corruption "may not let me live".
