9 years of disaster. There are so many instances, that it would be tough to pick just 9.
Here's my list.
1. #Demonetisation. That one stroke of stupidity that literally broke the nation's back.

2. #Pulwama
Still remains a mystery, how a vehicle loaded with explosives could move around, undetected, in J&k, one of the most militarised regions in the world. What was more shameful than this was how BJP used this tragedy for electoral gains.

3. #JammuAndKashmir
Art. 370 was abrogated. J&K stopped being a state. Was carved out into 2 UTs. With the objectives of bringing peace & development to the region. Result? We've ended with 2 UTs with seething discontent below the surface.

4. #CAA & #DelhiRiots
The union govt announced the CAA, granting citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist & Parsi refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan & Afghanistan. Was followed by nationwide protests, that took many lives. CAA still remains on paper.

5. #Galwan #China
"No one entered or encroached our territory."
The biggest lie ever spoken. India, since, has lost more territories to China. In Ladakh. In Uttarakhand. To Nepal. In Arunachal Pradesh. Again to China. But he wants us to believe otherwise.

6. #CovidLockdown
If #Covid itself wasn't bad enough, the unplanned lockdown unleashed unimaginable sufferings on common people. People were rendered jobless. Lives were lost. The entire informal sector came to a grinding halt.

7. #CovidSecondWave mismanagement.
The PM proudly declared that India had defeated COVID. And then the 2nd wave struck. The nation was unprepared. Resources were stretched. Lakhs perished. But that didn't stop the top 2 of BJP from campaigning.

8. #Northeast
This regime loves to boast about how they've turned things around in NE. Reality? Border flare-ups have become common. The Naga Accord remains elusive. Things compounded by #Oting. And #Manipur_is_burning. The region has been further alienated.

9. Fiscal governance.
Be it unemployment rates, or slowdown in production. When it comes to the economy, this govt is clueless. The sole objective seems to be selling off state assets to a chosen few.
