There were plenty of projects that were announced before BJP came to power and was never implemented. Congress was elected twice to implement these very things. Instead they spent all their time indulging in communal nonsense and high ticket corruption. To just put it into perspective: The Finance Minister P Chidambaram (during UPA era) castigated Modi for launching Digital India when he said it makes no sense considering India is not connected with Internet to the last village [1]. And that it will be a failure. The entire Opposition made fun of it in 2017.

So no matter if you have great ideas, if you do not even believe in those ideas let alone execute on them it is as good as dead ideas.

We would have progressed rapidly had UPA not indulged in corruption and working tirelessly to convict Modi in the Gujarat riots cases and instead focused its efforts on doing some actual developmental work, many of those ideas rightfully was thought of in its time (which i'll give credit for). But they lacked big time on execution. Modi had a proven track record in Gujarat which helped him beat Congress in 2014 elections. He just has brought most of Congress's plans to fruition which Congress doesn't like for obvious reasons.

UPA losing power is its own doing more than BJP's coming to power. Heck even Modi keeps taunting Congress in the Parliament saying that most of the policies that Congress opposes today was all their own plans that they never brought to life. That's the reason the Opposition is unable to counter BJP. BJP is just doing exactly what the Opposition promised in its manifesto when it came to development but never delivered.
