2. Unemployment

12 million youth in India are entering the job market every year, but only half a million job are created annually in the organised sector of the Indian economy. So where do the other 11 1/2 millon go ? They end up as hawkers, street vendors, stringers, bouncers, criminals, beggars, prostitutes, or suicides.

3. GDP growth

Many people talk of India's GDP growth. But they forget to ask a further question : who is getting the fruits of this growth, a handful of big businessmen, or the Indian masses ? The links below give the correct picture

4. Atrocities on Muslims

Throughout Modi's term as Prime Minister, atrocities on Muslims went on at regular intervals. Lynching of Muslims, bulldozing their houses, beating them brutally for not saying Jai Shri Ram, and incarcerating them in large numbers in jail just because they were Muslims, was a regular feature.The police often turned a Nelson's eye to these atrocities, or were even complicit

So that just about sums up the great achievements of the man with a 56 inch chest

Like Hitler, he came from nowhere, and will disappear into nowhere.
