    Modi bhakths keep reiterating congress ruined the country since past 70yrs. From a desperately hungry, illiterate and poor country when it received in 1947, till 2014, BJP says congress did nothing for the country only corruption. People voted for a change to Modi in 2014, repeated it again 2019. In return, the entire country is ruined economically and socially. DeMo, GST and unplanned implementation of lockdown since the past 6yrs resulted in crores and crores of job losses and people losing their livelihood. When asked bhakths jump into the defense, intent was good but implementation was bad. They wont give that benefit of doubt to Congress that ruled 70yrs and lead the country to poor to one among the strongest 10 in the world. Just when Bhakths thought that defense is working, now that the petrol prices gone above INR100 per ltr. They are now forced to admit. Modi led BJP is a total bad experience and flop show.
