BJP is no longer a right wing party.
In India it’s impossible to be an ideologically right wing party due to the fact that u have to give people freebies. Operating Business is hell here, u can’t do anything without bribes.
They’re acting like congress acted during its end years.
Ram mandir, Madhya Pradhesh land grabbing scam, corruption, e20, neet etc will be their downfall.
And no one raises their voice against it.
They sign MoUs but how many actually come true, data and reality is also totally different. Passport ranking is falling.
They need serious change and to stop this “undefeatable” mindset.
First of all, thank you for this thoughtful Anon Ask after such a long time.....
Let's address this point by point:
1. BJP is no longer a right-wing party
That is an opinion, not a fact. Economic conservatism does not mean eliminating every welfare scheme. Even many centre-right governments around the world provide subsidies and targeted welfare while simultaneously promoting infrastructure development and private investment.
The Data facts: While welfare spending (such as PM-KISAN and subsidised food grains) remains substantial, the government has also undertaken massive capital expenditure (CapEx) to boost economic growth and private enterprise. Union Budget capital expenditure increased more than fourfold, from ₹2.5 lakh crore in FY 2014–15 to over ₹11.11 lakh crore in FY 2024–25, reflecting a classic supply-side strategy of infrastructure-led growth.
2. Doing business is impossible because of corruption
Corruption still exists and deserves criticism. However, claiming that "nothing has improved" ignores reality. India has implemented GST, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), digital tax filing, online company registration, UPI, GeM procurement, and large-scale digitisation.
The Data facts : According to historical World Bank data, India's Ease of Doing Business ranking improved by 79 places, rising from 142nd in 2014 to 63rd in 2020, before the index was discontinued. Furthermore, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has crossed ₹4 lakh crore in annual Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), significantly reducing opportunities for middlemen and bribery by digitising government procurement. UPI now processes more than 14 billion transactions every month, shifting cash-based transactions into a transparent digital ecosystem.
3. Ram Mandir donation theft
There is no doubt that every Sanatani is shocked and deeply saddened by the alleged theft linked to the Ram Mandir.
But remember one simple truth:
When there is a theft in a house, we blame the thief, not the house.
The same principle applies here.
If anyone has committed this crime, they should be thoroughly investigated, prosecuted, and given the harshest punishment permitted under the law. No one should be above accountability.
The Reality: Administrative lapses in the temple's donation-counting process are being investigated. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted, multiple contracted workers have been arrested, and security protocols are being strengthened. Blaming the sacred institution of the Ram Mandir for the criminal actions of individual thieves is neither logical nor fair.
4. Madhya Pradesh land-grabbing scam
Many viral claims regarding a massive land-grabbing scam remain disputed or unverified. Allegations are not evidence. In a democracy, accusations should be supported by credible investigations and court findings, not merely by social media posts.
5. E20 will be BJP's downfall
This is where I strongly disagree. India imports nearly 88% of its crude oil, making ethanol blending an important step toward reducing import dependence and strengthening energy security.
However, as both a BJP supporter and an Indian citizen, I strongly believe Nitin Gadkari should resign because of a serious conflict of interest.
While the E20 policy is beneficial for the nation, it is ethically questionable that the Transport Minister's own family stands to benefit from it. His son, Nikhil Gadkari, is associated with CIAN Agro Industries, which expanded into ethanol production as the government accelerated the E20 programme. The company's reported revenue grew dramatically, while its stock price also surged. Nitin Gadkari's defence, that his family's company accounts for only 0.07% of India's total sugar and ethanol production, does not eliminate the perception of a conflict of interest. For the sake of transparency and public confidence, he should step down.
The Data on Ethanol Blending: Despite concerns about conflict of interest, the broader national benefits remain significant:
- Blending Growth: Ethanol blending in petrol increased from around 1.5% in 2013–14 to over 15% in 2024, with the government targeting 20% (E20).
- Foreign Exchange Savings: The ethanol blending programme has reportedly saved India more than ₹1.06 lakh crore in foreign exchange between 2014 and 2024.
- Farmer Income: Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have paid over ₹1.25 lakh crore to ethanol suppliers and farmers during the past decade, providing significant support to the rural economy.
On the NEET paper leak issue, I completely disagree with the Modi government. A strong government should establish robust systems to ensure that examination papers are never leaked, and ten years is more than enough time to build such safeguards. Dharmendra Pradhan should take responsibility and resign as the Education Minister.
Whenever examination irregularities occur, they must be investigated thoroughly, and those responsible must be held accountable. Criticising such serious administrative failures is entirely justified. However, one major policy failure alone cannot be used to judge a government's overall performance across every sector.
7. No one raises their voice
That is simply false. The government faces criticism every day from opposition parties, journalists, courts, civil society, television debates, and millions of citizens on social media.
The Data facts: India's judiciary continues to act as an independent check on executive power. For example, the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Electoral Bonds Scheme demonstrates judicial independence. In addition, India has more than 1 lakh registered publications and over 900 satellite television channels, many of which regularly air critical debates on government policies.
8. MoUs don't become reality
Every government signs investment MoUs, and not every MoU results in a completed project. An MoU is merely a statement of intent. The real indicators are actual Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), factories established, and jobs created.
The Data facts: India's FDI inflows have reached record levels. Between 2000 and 2023, India received cumulative FDI worth $919 billion, with nearly 65% ($596 billion) arriving during the last nine years alone. Under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme across 14 sectors, realised investments have exceeded ₹1.24 lakh crore, generating more than 8 lakh direct and indirect jobs while significantly boosting electronics exports, including smartphone manufacturing.
9. Passport ranking is falling
Passport rankings primarily depend on visa-free travel agreements with other countries, not on GDP growth, infrastructure, defence capability, or domestic governance. Judging a government's overall performance solely on passport rankings is misleading.
The Data fact : According to the Henley Passport Index, India's passport ranking has generally remained between 80th and 85th for much of the past decade. Visa-free access depends largely on bilateral agreements, reciprocity, and immigration-related concerns rather than economic strength. For comparison, China, the world's second-largest economy, ranks only around 60th, demonstrating that passport rankings are not a reliable measure of a country's global economic or geopolitical influence.
Constructive criticism is essential in a democracy, and no government is beyond scrutiny. However, criticism should be based on verified facts, credible evidence, and logical reasoning, not on viral allegations, selective narratives, or misinformation.
