  1. Rural India is swayed by freebies. Congress never gave them electricity, before. But the moment Modi gave them, Congress started asking to make it free. Job creation is important, and Congress is doing its best to thwart it, and we will suffer for this.

  2. His economics is actually good, but it's of long-term nature, not short-term nature. Reforms take time, to show results. Congress is doing it's best to thwart reforms and give freebie instead. If reforms show results, then we will not need freebies. And freebies will harm the very supporters in the long-term. On suffering, they will blame corruption, rather than an unreformed system.

  3. Erdogan plays with Islam. Hinduism doesn't control it's adherents as effectively as Islam. Muslims blindly believe that interest rates are evil, even if they face heavy inflation. Hindus don't forgive any politician for inflation. The only Delhi BJP govt lost elections due to high onion prices, even though it wasn't BJP's fault. If we had farm laws, then that onion price inflation would not have happened. But our voters don't understand.

  4. Rahul Gandhi is the biggest enemy for economic reforms. Even other politicians are sensible. Other politicians represent some part of our demographic. Even Owaisi is better because he speaks for Muslims. Whereas RaGa's only agenda is hating BJP, and staying in the game for the heck of it.
