Modi had a golden opportunity to make India a golden bird again, to eliminate corruption, because he was a new leader, had the support of the people, and the opposition had become very weak.
But what did Modi do instead? He worked in the beginning, but after that he doubled down on hisab chukta, reservation, and freebies.
Every babu and neta is at least 10 times more corrupt now than they were in 2014. India's demographic dividend is being wasted, and it will be gone in the next 20–30 years. To reap its benefits, the government should have invested in education, but Modi ruined that as well.
He came to power on the mandate of Hindus. He could have enacted many laws; at the very least, he could have freed Hindu temples from government control. But he did nothing. Twenty years from now, he will be remembered as one of the worst Prime Ministers in history of India.
