Oh, they're way past the addiction-deaddiction phase. They've lost the reality contact. And it's not a poor analogy, it perfectly sums up the situation since 2019. Let me explain.
Initially they were a bit apprehensive about the concept, but they tried it anyway. The success of Varanasi VB made them try the next SVDK one. The response and PR let them loose, and then came the craving stage. So they tried the next one from GNC. Again the same response.

Now they entered the addiction stage, and started launching VBs in bunch and PM flagged all of them personally. Now even when a lot of new services were white elephants, they had reached the dependence stage. They started launching VBs with 'influencers' on board, served free food to them. Started 'cultural programs' and flagging off by MPs on all the stations enroute.
Still a lot of new services made sense. But now, they've lost the reality contact. New services on already poorly patronized routes, weekly VBs, running a dedicated special for 'inauguration' of an existing service. Blaming everyone from previous governments to the social media for accidents.
It all fits so perfectly, I can't think of a better analogy.

please wait...Translate to HindiOh, woh addiction-deaddiction phase se bahut aage nikal gaye hain. Unka reality se contact hi kho gaya hai. Aur yeh koi bura analogy nahi hai, yeh 2019 se situation ko bilkul sahi tarah se describe karta hai. Mujhe samjhaane do.
Shuru mein toh woh concept ke baare mein thoda apprehensive the, lekin fir bhi unhone try kiya. Varanasi VB ki success ne unko next SVDK try karne ke liye motivate kiya. Response aur PR ne unko loose kar diya, aur fir aaya craving stage. Toh unhone next one GNC se try kiya. Phir se wahi response.
Ab woh addiction stage mein aa gaye hain, aur bunch mein VBs launch karna shuru kar diye. PM ne saare ko personally flag kiya. Ab jabki bahut saari new services white elephant ban gayi hain, woh dependence stage par aa gaye hain. Unhone 'influencers' ko onboard karke VBs launch karna shuru kiya, unko free food diya. 'Cultural programs' shuru kiye aur saare stations par MPs se flag off karwaye.
Ab bhi bahut saari new services sense banaati thi. Lekin ab, unka reality se contact hi kho gaya hai. Already poorly patronized routes par new services, weekly VBs, ek existing service ke 'inauguration' ke liye dedicated special chala rahe hain. Accidents ke liye pehle ki governments aur social media ko blame kar rahe hain.
Yeh sab itna perfectly fit hota hai, mujhe isse better analogy nahi soojhta.
