That's not it. Last year, PM raised $1.3B from citizens as a fund to fight with the pandemic by the name of PM Cares fund. In the last 4-5 months of last year, when we started bringing the curve down, he laid the foundation stone of Ram temple (which was his biggest manifesto point this election), laid foundation stone of Central Vista (we're spending $2.7B on reconstructing the parliament for some reason). He also passed a pretty controversial Farm law that led to massive protests in the country.
All this was being done in the middle of a pandemic when you'd expect the PM to be hands-on on dealing with the crisis and putting all other things like these on the back burner. In late January, when our case count was <20k, PM declared India's victory over pandemic in an address to World Economic Forum. We started exporting vaccines to countries that weren't in immediate need to get brownie points, we exported Oxygen as well for some weird reason.
And then we started all this. Also, somewhere in the middle, our Health minister went to a Press conference and endorsed an Ayurvedic medicine created by a popular godman as a cure for Corona, without any scientific backing
