Okay why long winded rant? You need to promote your own innovative industries. Criticising others is not merited.
Modi made right choice, what does that mean? 2016 note ban, rushed GST implementation or lockdown without any planning. Maybe your referring to clouds blocking radar.
2016 ban was bad, yes no excuses.
GST implementation went mostly well except for a few flaws. Initial shock to the economy was always expected, but not to this extent. In any case, it's advantages will become visible in the years to come. The objective was to get GST passed as soon as possible since governments with absolute majority like the current one are very hard to come by in India. If another government had come to power or BJP won by a lesser margin, GST would be potentially delayed for maybe another decade or 2, so we don't blame him for getting is passed as soon as possible while he had the opportunity, even if there were flaws to it. Flaws can easily be corrected and changes easily made regardless of which government is in power, so thats not a problem, getting the bill through the lower and upper house on the other hand is a big big issue and Modi did it while he had the chance.
There has been enough debates and rants on the lockdown issue, you are looking at it from an ex post perspective. Now that it failed, he made a mistake and all that. It's like looking at a person who climbed on a plane that subsequently crashed, while you reached the airport late and missed the flight and then blaming the person for boarding the plane and pretending that you somehow knew it would happen. When the lockdown was done, there were a few hundred cases in India and eliminating it was considered a feasible option, so again I don't blame him. Pakistani government didn't do anything at all other than calling the act of doing nothing at all a "smart lockdown" and the sheeple till date believe there was anything smart about it. We tried and we failed, you didn't try at all, that's the only difference. Modi type lockdown didn't work in India but who knows, it might have potentially worked in Pakistan. Pakistan had a handful of cases initially and is a bit cleaner and less densely populated than India and with a far lower impact of monsoons(which spread the disease), so instead of potentially 0 cases, you have hundreds of thousands. Since you didn't try, you will never know what could have happened.
