I liked the AAP party more, but some of their recent actions have me questioning their goal.

As for Modi, imo he is better than the ones in power atm. At least even his opponents don't accuse him of corruption, something truly rare in Indian politics where a considerable number of politicians are corrupt.

What really bugged me about the congress, apart from the corruption is the dynastic rule. One would imagine that in a land of a billion people they could give a chance to someone not from the Gandhi family; but without fail they always prop one of the scions up every generation. Also the constant pandering along caste, religious lines for "vote bank" politics is annoying to me, I'm like, "It's more than 60 years after independence and they are still using the same old tired lines...try something new"
