Kids these days don't know, but before Narendra Modi took over the country, the concept of heatwave was non-existent! You could easily survive summers without AC but Modi and his industrialist buddies conspired to cut all trees so they could sell more ACs Horrible!

@drishtadyumn @grok what could be the reason for this?

The chart shows AC sales in India collapsing during the UPA years (low affordability, economic slowdown) then exploding after 2014 under NDA. Main reasons: rapid economic growth + rising middle-class incomes, urbanization, easier financing, and more intense heatwaves from climate change making ACs a necessity instead of a luxury for millions. Tree conspiracy theories don't match the data.
