All I see is a lot of whataboutism to justify some truly heinous actions that have been committed in the past several years.

Yeah, Indira Gandhi wasn’t great either. Congress has its flaws.

None of that justifies the actions of today. Yes, the BJP has done some good things, but that’s true of many heinous authoritarians in the past as well.

No number of good things simply wash their hands of the bad stuff along the way.

The right word would be 'Abuse of power', if every center-right politician is labeled Authoritarian -- it will become a meaningless word.
