But the country was progressing for the last 10 years, far ahead of most other countries in the world in difficult times, even in UPA2, but the voters didn't see it like that. They voted for change, since that's what BJP had promised, but what they show now suddenly, is more a continuation of UPA policies, be it with different names or with minor changes.
I see it the same way as you do, which is why I am actually quiet happy that the BJP is following the UPA more or less, but everyone that actually believed in drastic change in India, must be disappointed even now, which actually must be a hell lot of voters.
