None Kept One’s Words: Modiji’s Promises

The article critically examines the unfulfilled campaign promises of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It argues that Modi’s pledges, including creating 2 crore jobs annually, depositing 15 lakh rupees per citizen from recovered black money, doubling farmers’ income, and developing 100 smart cities, have largely failed to materialize, contributing to economic distress and social discontent. Drawing on statistical data and public sentiment, the author accuses the BJP government of relying on divisive Hindu nationalist rhetoric to distract from these failures. The article frames Modi’s leadership as a betrayal of public trust, employing a satirical tone to highlight the gap between grandiose promises and reality, and calls for accountability to address India’s pressing socio-economic challenges.
