You mean like the time they tried to go to a cashless economy without any real alternative for the majority of the population?

The main thing the bjp has as far as I can see is a violent hatred of Muslims, which in a country with the largest population of Muslims in the world is not going to end well.

We did get a strong online payment system because of it. It is bearing fruits, just not as well as we'd hoped. And yes, I'm aware of the problems it caused too.

Look, I'm a strong liberal but it's hard not to dislike the Muslims if you were born before 2000 (which most of the BJP brass is). Muslims just don't assimilate well. And not their fault to a large degree, but actively protesting against raising the marriage age, triple talaq and faulting the French government in the latest bombing. They have lots of countries to do this, I don't want India becoming any more polarized or extremist. Every side is playing this politics, BJP is just doing it successfully.
