The inauguration of the Vizhinjam International Seaport by PM Modi has sparked a diverse range of opinions. While there is appreciation for the potential economic benefits and strategic importance of the port, the sentiment remains mixed due to skepticism about political and corporate influences, such as Adani and the ruling government. Many express gratitude towards the late Oommen Chandy for initiating the project. The narrative also diverges to positive commentary on unrelated environmental efforts by Anant Ambani. However, there is criticism about the transparency of governance, allocation of funds, and the extent to which such infrastructure developments actually benefit the general populace.

PM Modi

Oommen Chandy

Adani Group

Government of Kerala

My father says Modi seems very competent, not because that is his quality, but because his opposition is very incompetent. And I must say I agree.

Putin purposefully cultivated an incompetent and useless opposition so people would always vote for him. Modi didn't have to take any such troubles. People vote for Modi because they distrust RG. Unfortunately thst is what our national politics has become, Modi vs Rahul.

Immadi_PulakeshiRaya

The thing is, whenever you think about a national govt, you think of a leader and his party’s vision. 

Right now, bjp is thriving because of an absolute lack of sensible and strong opposition. Plus the level of exposed corruption (keyword - exposed) during upa 2 has given people ptsd. Modi and his govt are smart about it, in the way that they’ll never fumble a major scam expose like congress. Corruption as a whole is an integral part of indian govt since our inception. How do you think were the billionaires thriving even under govt controlled license raj of the 70s and the 80s. This is true even for developed country like the u.s where billionaires will always field their candidates to get rebates when the said person wins. It is not ideal, but unfortunate reality. 

There is no opposition, there is no vision. Kejri could have filled this void perfectly by rising to national politics but he is too busy in clearing up delhi and punjab mishaps and his party is slowly but surely getting the image of hypocrites. Mamta will never have a presence outside of Bengal. 

And Rahul is utterly incompetent and can never be the face of a winning congress. Even in the states they have won, it’s mostly because people were fed up of the other parties. (Winning by default, much like aap in punjab). 

Congress will time and again assure people of democracy within their own party but will neither accept nor refuse any claims that they aspire to put rahul at its helm. Man is just not fit to run this country.

I’ve said this before and i’ll say it again, as long as a gandhi is at the top of congress food chain, only yes men and loyalists will be allowed to thrive. This is essentially degrading a national party (which i think bjp will face too if shah takes over from modi, that man will ensure that bjp is his own personal army lmao) 

All these facts coupled with the development that people see around them and a sentiment of this govt being ‘scam less’ is what gives modi the edge to run again and win again.

hornyvadapao

PMCARES was corruption ka nanga naach. And they forced every government body to donate to it.

red_dragon

Another big con is no relief to income tax payers. Introduction of ltcg, pf tax and lot of similar anti-salaried class decisions.

Godi media is extremely worrying. Any future govt would now think they can buy media and make them their pet.

I'd add Jan aushadi Kendra in pros. It's a really good initiative. However there wasn't enough done for public hospitals and schools infra. They remain in same dire situation since a decade.

Single_Science2276

Thankfully a post that sees both sides and not just hates or supports Modi blindly.

punk_babe69

BJP offers "Reduced liberty for increased prosperity (as the BJP defines it)." It reminds me of what other countries are trying to do - "How Rwanda is Becoming the Singapore of Africa"  
https://youtu.be/xX0ozxrZlEQ ; EDIT: I'll add that some political parties prefer "highly processed, highly quality controlled" citizens/ voters...  Those are the parties who want to rule over the people, not govern for the people.

phoenix_shm

This is probably the best summary of last 10 years

slowpop82

 i never saw any transparency in anything in any party ruled till now

IdoitsAreIdoits

I wish we had better opposition tbh. Even tho modi is very conservative, he's competent enough to run the govt. However the problem gets deeper as their government suppressed all voices against them which instead of getting under pressure and working better, made them have no resistance to whatever and whenever they want. 

Plus the religious polarization is a big deal since it's purely for votes as these guys have least concern with religions

Medical_Tear8837

So my biggest problem is the lack of transparency on policies, media control

masterasstroid

I love that the pros are 5 and cons are 23. All the pros can be made possible by anyone, even you and i.

Sunny_Reddy18

I believe the question has some of the answers very well given. You do see an increase in number of manufacturing work coming into the country, thereby giving rise to ancillary industries. Slowly but steadily we are going good, though with quality issues, in the production space. I can compare it to my state which is a fuck all situation in Kerala. No business thrives there unless protected by government or owned by government. They have literally made it a commie state by all means. 
Ease of doing business has improved. 
A lot of cons have crept it, but that's part of the propaganda machine. We had appeasement policy for so many years, so what's wrong with the opposite policy for some time. These are qualitative issues which do not disrupt a political power in the country. When a lot of people or majority are angry, like here in Canada, then you have a revolutionary discussion disdain in the public. Life is still on in India, except for those who are now in the side against BJP. If you ignore politics and you live life as you fit deem, then you are great and happy. It's when you involve a party for India instead of India as a whole, that's when problem starts happening. 
What problems are you facing in life because of BJP being in power? What erosion of freedom of speech are you seeing in your life that is making you say this?
.
See the issue is simple, majority of the people in India are happy, they are getting by happily, and that's why BJP is in Power. People who actually work hard, day after day, are making money. People who sit idle are unhappy because handovers are coming down. There is a definite hatred against the appeasement politics that was played in the last few decades, which has anger resentment and sadness suppressed for many years, that finally when they see someone representing their rights, and the majority rights are being talked about here, then they blindly support the party. 

So this is how I would evaluate with comparison. For years, people of LGBTQ communities had been suppressed and downtrodden by West. Eventually they saw a Messiah in Trudeau or Biden who made their lives easier. These are not majority, but they had voices which were heard and thereby, people voted. Majority in this case was, meh, well nothing bads happening with me, so yeah let's support them. But these idiotic governments forgot that they have a larger fiduciary duty to citizens in general, where they ensure life is still possible, houses are still affordable, groceries are still available, food is available and instead, they failed the masses greatly. This is basic Maslows Hierarchy. As the basic necessities fail, then only will people revolt. 

Coming to India, yes we have inflation but still under control. Safety measures like  stopping export of food grains outside the country, etc, these are safety measures. BJP and the party in Power have think tanks, which do they job of strategic planning for them, which for so many years, i don't see Congress using. Even though BJP is pleasing the majority, they still ensure that the country is running and winning. Imagine a Congress government taking a stand against Ukraine supporting Russia. India made the best out of this situation. So even if they let propaganda run wild, hey, my country is still affordable, still livable. So as a citizen, I am happy to really ignore a lot of issues, as long as my basic needs are met, my security is guaranteed and my future is somewhat plannable. That's all that the common man thinks. As per maslows Hierarchy, once we get all our basic things satisfied, then we look for higher meaning in life. I want work life balance, which I will never get in India. I want evenings to my self, which is still not even possible in India. And they are now slowly working towards these being possible in India. So why in the basic hell would a common man be unhappy with BJP. Whatever OP listed, sounds like a rant of someone who doesn't like BJP, maybe because of OP's political affiliation or religious stand. Well tough luck. I know things will not be the same as always. Someday BJP might decay and then it could be bad, but till then, might as well enjoy life while I can. Will worry about bad India when it comes to that. And even then, I will not complain, I will figure out a way to get going with my life, make something out of it. People like OP will only keep complaining and doing nothing about it.

[deleted]

I do not think we have a better option than Modi. Congress is corrupt as hell. Congress = scams.

Not to nit pick here, and the OP has spent considerable time compiling this. One of the things that has tilted elections for BJP is Electoral Bonds. it gives them donations that are anonymous for the public but they know who sent it. Started in 2017 and while other parties use them too, the biggest beneficiary has been BJP. The money they get, they use to do PR and propaganda at a scale others can't match. Projects that have been completed by state governments get a photo of Supreme Leader and what's app learns that this only happened because of BJP. Chanakya's marketing machine is way more superior than the administration machine.

I’d argue that the attacks on civilians have increased or at the very least stayed the same. It’s just that these internal terrorists are called patriots or nationalists now. All they do is hide behind various names

rudrag09

I could not have said it any better. Perfect assessment and weighing of facts. Unfortunately India does not have a strong opposition party at this point which makes simply means BJP will continue its reigns for some time

Moonsolid

 a common person’s view is definitely different than yours.
Keep talking to people from different sections and you will realise how easy it is for BJP in 2024
1. DBTs / PM anna yojana /Toilets - in short, populist schemes have worked for BJP &amp; common people in general recognise this.

2.  Religion is important to common people. They see their TV &amp; trust it. They think Hindus are in danger &amp; congress &amp; left are muslim sympathisers
3. Religious Inter-mingling is a big no no especially in recent years, big movies like kashmir files have been shared in various family whatsapp groups and jihad murder fiasocs of last years is  fresh on everyone’s mind
3. They believe Modi has increased India’s prestige everywhere for ex, Modi stopped ukraine- russia war for Indians, Jaishankar is the new hero of young ones, G20 is because of Modi’s stature only. they truly believe in these things.
4. BJP propaganda reaches most homes through their whatsapp &amp; socials ( opposition doesn’t reach even 25% ) All this without counting heavy biased TV news.
2024 will be a cake walk for BJP led by Modi 
INDIA alliance has failed to even start . In actual terms, those guys are outdated in their politics &amp; lethargic. BJP govt works hard each &amp; every hour to get votes by any means , ethics &amp; morality is not an issue

1) India getting more foreign investors is natural, our economy opened in 92 and thr base was set by upa govt. I don't think bjp boosted fdi so much to give them credit.


2) Military getting modernized, improving our arsenal Etc means nothing to a common citizen. All I can say is upa govt didn't let Chinese mfs to take a huge portion of our territory. After all the convey blast happened during modis time and abhinandan episode was very embarrassing for Indians in the world stage. I was feeling good about the surgical strike until Modi govt wanted to have an annual commemorative kinda thing for just killing a handful of jihadis...Congress won us wars against pak but they never took credits like Modi did.


3) infrastructure is one good thing happening, I will give credit for this. Even the last vajpayee govt was excellent in this regard and Modi doing it efficiently. 


4) 100% electrification of railways and more toilets is truly a Modi achievement, let's not take this away from him but at the same time I feel railways is managed bad than ever before. These vande bharat is a good initiative but less general bogey, less sleeper class Etc is the main concern. Also the frequent railway accidents and still the railway minister being in power Etc only means railways is fcuked under bjp rule. Upa wasn't this bad also wasn't innovative either.


5) make is bharat is a double edged sword,on one hand it promoted local business but with that policies the crony capitalists also got trade protections for their companies. We were only scammed by this scheme, remember the freedom phone for 500 rupees and I recently saw a review about made in India jio laptops which are just absolute scams run by the richest guy in Asia. I am not against economic protectionism, but if I have huawei then I'll protect the company but it is stupid to protect cheap ass fraud companies in India ( not all but most in tech are frauds).

Government shouldn’t have pulled back farm law. It was plain stupid. That too to get votes in Punjab. Government should have been firm.

vaiku07

Primary things I hate about the BJP govt. - 1) Criminals in the party and party protecting serious criminals. 2) Communalism and the pushing of the hindutva agenda. 3) Not passing progressive laws like criminalization of marital rape, legalization of same sex marriage and not bringing in a Feminist UCC despite promising repeatedly. 4) Not doing enough for women's safety and equality.

One important point that affects every common person and that people don't easily recognize is the governments handling of inflation. Inflation is essentially stealing from your savings. Every paisa you earned and saved 10 years ago is worth half a paisa now. Meanwhile extra liquidity in the market allow the rich to exponentially grow their wealth. That is why it is said inflation disproportionally affects the poor.

Appreciate the effort and the exhaustive write up and putting many points in. But what rapid growth or we talking here, The average annual growth under Supreme leader is lower than under previous government. Infrastructure is fine, they spend money but it's mostly by borrowing. Make in India is mediocre. Indian manufacturing share of GDP is still pretty much as before. Trade deficits especially against China is still very wide. If you add how these ass wipes have changed the moral fabric of the nation one has to wonder if Vikas is just a step brother pretending to be your brother and making grand promises on Raksha Bandhan

Harrowing. Choosing govts is about choosing less of the two evils in any given election. We didn't make a good choice this time.

QueefBurgler6969

I may be detecting a bit of a bias here from the OP.

gamerslife1993

Modi Administration is been even better than Jawahar and Indira. It’s just that Modi critics are going crazy. They are now fighting for their political existence and relevance. And that they will go to any extent. If they are offered a guaranteed win for PM seat they will  even sell the country in exchange.

inkuhnoo

I like him. He seems nice and generally positive person who speaks hindi and not like other folks. He has charisma and be the face of nation. Finally there is no alternative so it does not matter.

Professional_Mode_25

I could add another pro: improved access to electricity and tap water and toilets

The only reason BJP is winning is because they are up against the weak opposition.

indininja

[Shekhar Gupta on the 2019 election results.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwnnn1M-T5U) 

I think the infrastructure point's importance is highly under-rated. To the common man, rich and poor, hard infrastructure is what you see in everyday life and it is something very real. An interesting parallel is the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s in the USA, today Eisenhower is remembered as one of the best presidents primarily for having built the interstate highways system. People still use the highways today and Eisenhower is remembered for that infrastructure. Interestingly, Eisenhower was inspired by the German Autobahn system built by the Nazis, and the autobahn system too is still famous today as some of the best and highest speed highways anywhere in the world. Similarly other nations have also had their phases of industrialization and breakneck infrastructure development, like Europe, Japan and South Korea post-WW2, and China in the past 30 years. It's only now that India is in its catch up phase and the BJP is plastering it on everyone's minds with Modi's image on it.

Shekhar Gupta outlines this delivery of promises quite accurately in the above video. Whatever Modi and his BJP do, the narrative is such that the public views him as a man who's at least trying to bring in innovative and tangible solutions to problems, even if his plans fail. Modi shoots 10 shots and maybe 3 work well, but that's enough for his popularity to sustain. JAM trinity is a good example of this. Jan-dhan accounts, Aadhar cards, Mobile phone connectivity (JAM) which have enabled the govt to directly transfer subsidies and benefits to the poor man's bank account. For the middle and upper class, UPI has become a tool of everyday convenience. Sure there might have been corruption with the ambanis rapid jio expansion, but that shook up the market, forced airtel, vodafone, idea to become competitive and today, millions are hooked to this fast internet.

Another important thing about the political situation today is the Gandhis' almost complete ownership of the Congress and their reluctance to talk about the good things that Manmohan did during his long tenure. A lot of infrastructure was built during Manmohan's time like the metro in Delhi, airports in Delhi, Mumbai and other cities, electrification of rail etc. There was massive corruption in the building of the Delhi metro but who cares about that now, the metro got built and crores use it every year. There still is corporate corruption by the Adani group and others in the development of new airports, ports, tunnels, roads etc. but again nobody cares as long as the infrastructure gets built. But congress missed a trick by not talking about their achievements enough, while BJP shoves it in everyone's faces every chance they get, which isn't really a bad thing.

cheemjr

I have to challenge you on foreign companies and investment. FDI in India has decreased, it only increased for a brief period after Modi came into power in 2014, and it has decreased ever since. Famous companies coming to India to do business doesn't mean overall FDI has increased.  


Make in India, initiative has failed horribly. Our actual production capacity as a country has remained the same and in case of Small Scale Industries (SSI) their production capacity took a hit because they can't compete with crony capitalism.  


Terrorist attacks don't come on news because BJP government refuses to define what is a major terrorist attack, they only come to news when it's an Islamic terrorist no one mentions domestic terror attacks because they are not seen as terror attacks now.

BabblingPanther

I don't understand what you mean by COVID lockdowns. During COVID I had travelled to many countries and tbh Indias response was the best I saw. Lockdown was a necessary measure. Modi could not have prevented COVID deaths but being such a poor country we had a very good survival rate.

wishlist_karlson

On ground,people are not quite happy or satisfied but congress has failed to present itself as an alternative. For opposition alliance to win,they need a PM face.

Aryansaheb

1. Initiators, takes bold action and reforms although not necessary what they do is always good.
2. Aggressive, nationalist. Propagate not just Hindu nationalism but indian nationalism which is not limited just to post independence but embrace ancient Indian glory.
3. Hate mongers, spread hate openly and make stupid out of people or maybe the people make themselves stupid just to ignore their hate acts because they like pt 1 and 2 about them and Avoid any reason to vite them out.

I’m curious to know how one measures infrastructure growth and compares them to another government ?

testuser514

The biggest failure of BJP is in economy. Given our demographic situation, we should be growing our GDP at double digit percentage. That is what other economies had done when they leaped forward. That window is going to close in a few years. The second failure is steady weakening of institutions. I cannot think of any country that moved from developing to developed by weakening institutions and individual liberties. Here, we seem to be okay with detaining someone without trial for months. That is not progress by any means.

Alternative-Bar7437

Adding to the cons -

1. Complete  mismanagement of Covid resulting in 4 millions deaths. Last  time that  many people died in the country was during the 1943 Bengal  famine in  colonial India. In 7 years, BJP managed to take the country  back by 70  years.
2. Wrecked  the  economy and murdered citizens and livelihoods through harebrained   schemes like demonetization and half-baked GST. Then claimed high GDP   through manipulated numbers.
3. Murdered 40 jawans in Pulwama to win elections.
4. Orchestrated ethnic cleansing in Manipur.
5. Murdered writers and journalists like Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh. Even murdered an 84 year old human rights activist Stan Swamy.
6. Major corruption scams like RAFALE and GSPC (KG Basin).
7. Hijacked  democracy by pulling down democratically elected state  governments in  Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra and  northeastern states.
8. Hijacked  democracy again by employing BJP governors to meddle with state   governance that included repeatedly holding back bills passed by elected   representatives in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Punjab, Telangana, West Bengal,   Maharashtra and Arunachal Pradesh.
9. Hijacked democracy still again by introducing electoral bonds.
10. Hijacked democracy yet again by unilaterally repealing article 370 bypassing elected representatives of JK legislative assembly.
11. Diluted the RTI act.
12. Corrupted  education by inserting religious myth as facts in textbooks  and  removing even rudimentary science concepts like evolution and  periodic  table.
13. Caused highest unemployment in 45 years.
14. Tripled price of cooking gas from Rs.400 to Rs.1200 while spreading  propaganda about free gas and delivering empty cylinders.
15. Spread  propaganda about building toilets and making the country Open   Defecation Free but in fact the toilets had no water connections and   ended up literally being just a hole in the ground.
16. Devalued Indian currency from 60 INR to USD, bringing it down to the lowest it's been in history at 83 INR to USD.
17. Petrol prices crossed triple digits for first time in history.
18. High inflation caused essential food items like onion and tomato prices to soar 400%.
19. Waged  a war against its own citizens with NRC, rendering 2 million  stateless  and throwing thousands in mass detention centers reminiscent  of Nazi  camps.
20. Indian   government taken down to the level of Hindu Taliban, run literally by   members of terrorist organization RSS that killed Father of the Nation   with everyone from PM to HM and downwards being members of this   terrorist organization.

All the cons listed are subject to debate. All the pros listed are tangible and concrete improvements that BJP has made.

fear_thegamer

The difference between Patriotism and Nationalism 
is 

#PATRIOTISM
 is loving your country for only the good things that it does and trying to fix whatever is wrong with their country.

#NATIONALISM 
is loving your country no matter what it does. Living in denial of everything that's wrong with the country. And blaming others from those things. Others can be any minority or rival country or opposition.

And the BJP is peddling NATIONALISM.

Can some one ELI5 why GST is considered a failure? I am out of country for a couple of years but I thought it was implemented across the country and at a rapid pace. Where is it failing?

Re Point 8 : I think most average Indians will say that there has been less governmental corruption especially of the scam variety as opposed to previous governments

Even if we were to take all of PM Cares as a scam then it's amounts are barely a drop in the ocean compared to the gigantic amounts of CWG/Coal/2G etc

In fact their mostly scam free image is why "Rafale" and "Chaukidaar Chori hai" type slogans failed so miserably in 2019

AdonisAquarian

How the fuck is PMCARES a scam. It is exactly the same as NDRF.

VariationNo393

Though BJP is strong in Center. They are pretty weak in running state.

ankittale

&gt;  make in india

This is at best a partial success and that too based only on the fact that this should have happened anyway to begin with. In real terms it hasn't born fruit yet. Manufacturing share of Economy and as Global Share has not risen, it has at-best remained stagnant (some data shows it's fallen as share of economy).

&gt; FDI

This too isn't special, the graphs show basically similar range when adjusted by Share of GDP. In gross amount it was rising in late 2010s sure.

&gt; Terror thing

This is selective bias. J&amp;K isn't "resolved". NE maintains its mess. Naxals still exist and on top we have domestic Hindutva lynch mobs. The flurry of bomb blasts were already on decline by end of UPA-2 so it was more on Security agencies finally catching up than anything to do with Govts.

The only thing they have is, bigger increase in Connective Infrastructure (roads, telecom, etc) but even that itself exists on above average because the deficit India has on this is massive and the way Jio did what it did was a farce. But sure, Corruption and Competence need not be mutually exclusive. 

What is Good and what is Bad exists on a Gradient/Spectrum. They are not Absolutes. To judge requires setting them against a Reference frame. And the biggest reference frame current Govt has is the Mandate Scale they have. Meaning they are to be judged against that, not simply that they are incumbents because even mid 90s Govt were incumbents but its a bit farcical to proclaim they had SAME sort of leverage/power frame of reference to be judged on what they could and should deliver.

TLDR, given the mandate BJP has had, they have been an ABJECT failure of highest form. If THIS is what getting such huge majorities delivers, India is better off with coalition (real sort) Govts.

iVarun

The real pappu is modi. Rahul may not be a great orator but speaks well and is empathetic to the public. He regularly converses without a teleprompter and handles questions well enough. 

It is just the IT cell that has called him and bullied his image. Every video is edited to show he bungled somewhere. 

As for the post... The transport thing is a farce... NHAI is saddled with 3 lakh crore debt and that is why gadkari is looking for private investments. Military spending too is full of kickbacks... The army OROP campaign is so bad that many pensions and salaries require funding. 

BJP does on thing well... Publicity... Nothing else. It shares stories of congress bungling in 70 years to avoid their own problems that are ten times more. Corruption is legalized. 

Today mahua was thrown out... Journalists have been behind bars or killed.. Same with judges. Dissenters are termed ani nationals. 

This is the biggest disaster of a govt ever!

AppearanceAdvanced58

You my friend, are not a common person. You are in a position of privilege, the average income of India is around 1.5 L a year. I don't think you are anywhere near that category of people. 


For the common man, life is much different and way more difficult. 

Issues such as Food Safety, housing,Employment, Education , Safety, Healthcare, Sanitation, Finance, Local Governance and Representation matter a lot 

BJP has brought in ground breaking advancements in healthcare , with ayushman Bharat insurance , Cheap Generic Medicines, significant reduction in cost of prosthetics and implants. 

In terms of Employment, they have faltered considerably. Failed to meet up with the rising population, Extended delays in government job exams and hiring. Letting vacancies sit idle. Plus the relaxations in labor laws for MNCs to exploit Indian workers in the name of SEZs is brutal as well. 

For education they have again done well, besides making meaningless changes in the curriculum. Talks about a hybrid NEP are promising where they talk about Letting students choose any subject they want to plus vocational training. Scholarships for higher education and opening of new IITs, IIMs , Aims and NLUs 

Safety is a issue they need to work on, they have done great things towards public safety in Uttar Pradesh. States like Rajasthan, Bihar , Haryana West Bengal need a lot of work in this matter. Crumbling Judiciary is a major issue that delays justice for the non-millionaires. 

They've hit a home run on housing and food safety, with PM Awas Yojana and Distributing ration to those in need. 

Local Governance has been fantastic as well, digitalization has played a huge role in this. Now regarding municipal bodies you can file online complaints and government servants get work assigned through government apps and websites. 

Representation wise they have again fullfilled all the requisites, with complete ignorance of tribal culture to bringing tribal issues to light. Jan Jatiya Diwas celebration and Making a ST woman President. EWS reservations as well for the financially weaker section of unreserved category.  Finally getting the Women's Reservation Bill through 

When it comes to the common man, BJP has been the best political party Independent India has seen. 

However a deeper look at things reveal what is happening behind this populist government, control over media, Supression of Opposition by hook and crook, Breaching the independence of investigative authorities, promoting hatred towards Muslims. Demonitsation was a massive waste of time and resources. Delaying the census cunningly to effect Delimitation in 2029 elections. 

I won't talk about Covid as it was an unprecedented event and the Covid management in India was relatively better compared to similar nations. Mass Vaccination drives, Testing of Covid, prompt lockdowns and social awareness drives. They did what they could in the limited resources available. 

So from the point of a common man, BJP is the party you want to vote for. For intellectuals and people with long term goals they are dangerous. Yet the opposition promises to be worse at every possible moment they can. 

All in all, 2024 is a guaranteed BJP win. I'd Eve say 2029 if the opposition continues to play the political game of darts with blindfolds of nepotism on

Every person ik who supports this party have said Infra has grown considerably, especially in the northern states.

I'm from the south and have no idea about it. What infra are they talking about? Didn't a bridge collapse in Ahmedabad last year?

What about the regional politics that Congress is playing, there is no Rahul there; it’s not about Rahul, it’s not even about the few good guys Congress has/had, even BJP does. Middle class wants economic growth and Congress couldn’t do shit for the decades they were in power. Even during 90s or 2000s after they opened up the economy, compare it to the rise of China during that same period. Also the terrorist/Pakistani attacks and the feeling of bias in favour of the Muslim community irrespective of the truth, there was no Godi media then to push the narrative, its not like Hindus started feeling the way do about Muslims post 2014. BJP also (mis)utilised social media effectively and made their supporters feel proud on the global stage (even if it is over trivial issues). They both grew together (SM and BJP).

He forgot Demonitisation, Manipur murders, UP rapes by BJP MLAs, Go Corona Go, Adani Tax, Ambani Tax, etc.

Amnesia is an enemy of the democracy.

I think out of all the flaws of BJP, they key idea is that they are better than the other options given, from a time where all that was talked about was better roads, electricity, cleanliness service to now being at a point where the issues talked are communal and more inclined towards something beyond day to day means that there has been improvement in livelihoods. I always find my hometown improving so much and becoming more and more modern. the reason why BJP is holding power and expanding (their vote share in many states have doubled) is because how much they are improving the lives of an average guy, which opposition never targets.

I would say, the Pandemic was a real challenge for any country to show how capable they are in the face of an unknown calamity, which initially was untreatable, and if we keep that in mind I think our Government did a good job of protecting people from what could've been Catastrophic.

I Don't mean they were perfect, as many people lost their loved ones in the second wave that hit us, and a lot of us are still coming to terms with everything that's happened, but the 21 days lockdown, plus the rapid vaccination across the country to try to flatten the curve as much as possible, is an effort that deserves praise.

And I don't Trust other parties with such things in their hands, as seeing how much they bicker among themselves.
