Our present government seems to be thinking like a confused teenager these days. If you have been carefully keeping track of things, you will notice the seemingly obvious trend: First, the BJP government makes poorly thought out, badly crafted policies and decisions. Then, when people react with outrage, they hurriedly take a U-turn. Ever since Modi came to power, the government has adopted this flip-flop tendency often blaming the previous government for its shabby policies and when in trouble sticks back to the original schemes.

Since 2014, there were a lot of issues ( land bill, FDI etc ) on which the Government made a turnaround. These are some recent instances where the govt has done a major U-turn:

Marital Rape issue:

In a U-turn from her earlier stand, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi today said the government is considering criminalising marital rape and a decision will soon be made on the matter.

On March 10, she had spoken against criminalising marital rape on the grounds that such rape, as understood internationally, cannot be suitably applied in the Indian context. Maneka’s reply in Parliament had apparently angered women’s rights groups and they had termed her remarks as “insensitive, atrocious and ridiculous”.

The Kohinoor controversy:

Well, this was quick! The controversy over the ownership of the Kohinoor (one of the world's largest diamonds) got a new twist on Monday when the Indian government said that the diamond was neither "stolen nor forcibly taken away," but was gifted to the English East India company.

In an apparent U-turn, after getting flak, it clarified yesterday that its resolve is to make all possible efforts to bring back Kohinoor diamond from United Kingdom.
