It's not something I'd expect most non-Indians to notice immediately, but the whole "politicians promise toilets" thing has been a common scam in India for decades. It's a very easy thing to promise, and frequently half-delivered if at all. Getting a toilet built and safely maintained is almost as rare as a cold-email from Nigeria following through with the million dollars they promised.
