Such promises are very common in india. We call it "revadi" - a kind of sweet and cheap pill - here!
We have multi-party politics and a tri-level government so elections are almost every year for some or the other. Politicians were so used to promising these before Modi. But Modi made it a campaign slogan and made people aware that such promises were made to just fool the public..and it struck so hard ..Modi will be the PM of India until he dies.
But what Modi did was amazing when COVID, he mandated free ration to more than 800 million people. He did it when it was required not when he wanted votes.
