Here is detailed and extensive comparison of the performance Modi Govt vs UPA govt. data used is mostly from Govt sources or annual reports etc.
The data is compared using annual growth rates and per year data which is a fair tool to assess the performance of two govts with different tenures.
Before reading this remember UPA was coalition govt while Modi was a majority govt.
1) GDP – During UPA (2004-14) grew about 8.1% as per the new series while it grew 7.3% during Modi govt (2014-18) . It was during UPA govt in 2013, India became 3rd Largest economy in the world in terms of PPP.
The report was available here http://mospi.nic.in/sites/default/files/publication_reports/Report_committee_real_sector_statistics_25july18.pdf but the Modi has deleted it now to hide the data.
Anyway it was downloaded and uploaded here page no 145 – http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=01323013059347049289&t=0132301305934704928923455

3) Foreign Direct Investment – FDI – Probably you’d have heard about this very often from BJP saying due to Modi our FDI has increased significantly but the truth is different.

10) No of Rural Houses Built – Modi govt is always boasting about building 1+ crore house in his election speeches everywhere and says Congress didn’t do anything. But anyway, here is the truth
During 2008-13, 5 years of UPA govt as per audited CAG report UPA govt under Indira Gandhi Awas Yojana built 1.28 crores houses while during last 5 years of Modi govt under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 1.01 crore houses were built

11) Income Tax Growth Rate – BJP and Modi have always been spreading fake information about Income tax growing with demonetization. Here is the truth.
Income Tax collections grew 19.36% during 10 years of UPA govt while has come down to 14.67% during first 4 years of Modi govt.

12) Corporate Tax Growth – Corporate Tax collections can indicate the financial performance of the companies. If the companies are performing very good they will be profitable which will help govt get more tax. So, during UPA govt the Corporate Tax grew 20.03% annually while during Modi govt it came down to 9.68%

13) Free LPG Connections to BPL Families – Probably this is one of the most talked about achievement of Modi govt. Wherever he goes he tell how his govt has given some crores of free LPG connections to BPL families. So what’s the facts and truth.
In 2009, UPA govt came up a Vision 2015 which has targeted achieving LPG coverage rate from 50% in 2009 to 70% by 2015 and came up with a scheme called RGGLVY – Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vitran Yojana which provided free LPG connections to BPL families. So as of Oct 2014, 6.69 crore new connections were given under RGGLVY raising the LPG Coverage to 66.5% as of Oct 2014.
After Modi came to power, he stopped RGGLVY scheme and renamed it as PMUY – Pradhan Mantri Ujwala Yojana in 2016 with an aim to distribute 5 crore new LPG Connections to BPL families in 3 years. As of Feb 2018 3.38 connections were given as per official data available
During last 5 years of UPA govt, the LPG Coverage increased from 50% in 2009 to 66.5% in 2014 while giving about 6.5 crore new LPG Connections to BPL Families. During Modi govt, 3.38 crore connections were given till feb 2018. So Modi just continued the scheme of UPA govt by renaming it and the no of connections given were also the same if you compare by pro-rata basis.

14) Direct Benefit Transfer or DBT of Subsidy – Modi Govt has been boasting about starting this DBT scheme by linking bank accounts to Aadhar and directly crediting the subsidy amount into the consumers accounts. But the fact is it was initiated by UPA govt in June 2013 as a pilot project in 18 districts. By Jan 2014 the DBT scheme was expanded to 291 districts and had distributed DBT in 2.8 crore LPG Consumers. After Modi came to power he just continued the project but claims he started it.

15) Removal of Ghost or Duplicate accounts – The process to remove to duplicate or ghost accounts which were talking multiple subsidies using different account was started by UPA govt in 2013 by linking Aadhaar card. Before 2014, they had already identified and removed duplicate connections of 87 lakh customers with annual savings of 2870 crores. After coming to power Modi govt just continued this process but claimed he started it.

16) Construction of Rural Roads – Rural roads are constructed under Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana. The data is available from 2005 to 2017.

While between 2014-17, Modi govt constructed 1,20,136 Kms of rural roads which comes to 40,045 Kms per year and 109.7 Kms per day. The rate of construction of rural roads has increased from 101.3 Kms during UPA to 109.7 Kms per day in Modi govt which is not a significant growth.

Modi govt has hardly done anything even when he has a majority govt. He had benefits of low crude oil prices which saved his govt $150 billion which in effect helped maintain low inflation rate but nothing substantial was done compared to UPA govt.
