I really don't get the BJP's endgame here. The level of ineptitude and incompetence is shocking. Only 260mn doses of vaccine ordered for a population which needs over 2bn doses, half of which were ordered just last week. Foreign aid gathering dust for a week because of non clearance of customs. Health minister constantly promoting quackery and alternate medicines. Organizing religious gathering of millions which would first kill people from your own votebank. No sincere attempts to actually control the pandemic. Sometimes you really feel that the PM just wants to see the country burn, irrespective of whether those who are burning are voting for him or not.
There is only one end game. Be in power as long as possible in all states and centre.
They came in with a promise of more governance, less government. But it was all lies. They didn't bother to fix any bureaucracy or anything that will change things on the ground. They didn't care about education or health. All they cared about was elections in various states. The centre was full time running from one state to another giving speeches and organizing election rallies. They were busy collecting states, buying MLAs and creating riots and jailing/harassing any critics.
The PM filled his cabinet with incompetent fools, who were there because they were a bunch of Yes men/women. Meanwhile they bought of people in various departments including judiciary (third pillar) and media (fourth pillar), weakened RTI, destroyed public sector, forced banks into increasing NPA, made party donations more opaque so that no one would be able to track the money coming in. They basically legalized corruption.
Having done nothing to improve any sectors in last 7 years, it all came to a head and then they are doing what they have done for ages. Run away and blame others. The bureaucracy is still behaving how they did for ages. Stall everything and not sign off on anything. After all hope is lost, PM and his stooges will position themselves as a saviour by doing something symbolic.
And by some dumb luck, if the Covid position eases, then they will jump and claim Modi saved India. They are just waiting for that moment.
