BJP's 7 years in power

For the last few days the circle manager is putting out polls to know our opinion about BJP's 2 years in power. I thought they are in power for 7 years now?

I wrote the following after 3 years of the last BJP government. I painfully note that it might as well have been written yesterday. Such is our progress. See and make up your mind.

quote: My post in March 2017
Not a single politician involved in 2G scam, coal-gate scam, commonwealth games scam etc. has been punished. Misdeeds by politically connected individuals like Robert Vadra (of mango people fame) have gone unpunished. How can one believe that this government is serious against corruption when all these corrupt worms are roaming free?

Stringent action is needed against black money holders and willful loan defaulters (those few who have flown from the country and many who remain here and continue to loot) as well as those who colluded with them.

PM must account to the nation of what has been achieved by note ban. The ever-sleeping RBI is yet to come out with final figures. I will NOT be surprised if they ended with more notes than issued (including the fake notes from across the border). If the aim was to stop counterfeiting, then it has not worked because the new 2000 note has made it more viable to counterfeit and new counterfeits are already being circulated by various banks through ATM's.

Note ban has only caused problems to honest persons who had to stand in long queues. Public sector banks like SBI have now reduced their FD rates to less than 5% which is below even the current rates of inflation. Are they hoping to offset their 'Mallya losses' and distribute the burden to the common people? The majority of elderly who are NOT government employees are gradually being reduced to penury due to low returns (while the retired government employees draw pensions which is often more than the pay they received and have the nest egg they collected while in service as a bonus).

Instead of reducing government expenditure and improving services, the government workforce is being increased, salaries are being enhanced and more burden is being thrown on the common man who has to pay these worthies and be insulted by them whenever any work is to be done. How long will this go on? I would like the government shirkers to be terminated immediately and their pensions forfeited. Will this ever happen?

What about eradicating the VIP culture? I do not see any evidence around me. And has the government done anything about abolishing subsidised food in Parliament which only benefits those who require it the least; while millions of those whom they are supposed to be serving go to bed hungry? And those farmers who toil to feed them continue to hang themselves?

Instead of enforcing accountability to the people, tax terrorism is being promoted officially. How can you expect respect for the government? I only have contempt because I am being forced to pay all these people for letting them tyrannise me. Are we still under British Raj?

Whenever PM talks about 'made in India' I can see the Chinese applauding because it gives them more business, with our gujju/Marwari business men queuing up to import shoddy goods and put labels on them 'Made in India'.

I do not see an end to the single most important reason for our ruin (I mean the reservation policy). We are the only nation who reward people for being unfit.

In short, for the common man there is no achche din or swatch Bharat. Announcing any number of schemes with colourful sounding names (which do not mean anything to those like me who do not know Hindi) is not going to help.

Unquote:
Adding to this also the widespread GST frauds due to a system offering various gaping loopholes, the almost defunct National Citizens Register and non-implementation of CAA which is opposed by various state governments for the benefit of their vote banks and so on.

Fast approaching my 75th year with doubtful prospect of outliving the Chinese engineered pandemic, I have come to believe as a true Hindu that only by an awful life of sin in my previous births I have come to be borne in this cursed country in this cycle and pray to God to not let it happen once again. more
