Did you vote in 2014, 2019: Yes

Did Modi deliver on his promise of acche din: Not at all

Why not: Inflation and unemployment are on the rise, there is no money in hand, while corruption and pollution have shot up

Has Modi kept his guarantee? He has failed. He had promised pucca houses to all the poor people, but this has not been fulfilled. Houses under the Indira Awas Yojana (now known as PM-Awas Yojana) have not gone to the real poor but to well-off people in the rural areas

What is the single biggest change that has taken place since 2014: Trouble and tension have increased for the common man for everything. Notebandi (demonetisation), GST, high fuel and cooking prices are some of the examples

What is the one issue you would like changed now: Unemployment should be addressed. The youth are roaming aimlessly here and there without jobs, and are resorting to crimes

What he wants from new govt: To work for the masses instead of just the rich, and bring down inflation and corruption

What he doesn’t want from new govt: Not pursue policies that would further increase inflation. Such policies are pushing low-income groups into poverty
