What I see and hear from the people on the field is that Narendra Modi is a show man with no stuff. Dashboard looks cool, but those toilets built are not maintained and is in the verge of wreck.
People didn't use them.
This is a habit change that has to be completed, once that happens, a lot will change on its own.
The problem with these initiatives is that they are all politically motivated. Once the ruling parties get the necessary PR around it, the funding is stopped. Modi is no different. There is no reason to laud Modi for this. The previous governments have also done this though with a less "catchy" names with no PR.
So what's your plan? Stop trying?

Come on man. Hate Modi all you want and there are few reasons, but this is not one. He is trying to get people accountable, at least talking about the issue. You don't even understand the buzz a topic creates if PM of 1 billion people repeatedly reminds us about the importance of sanitation.
I don't want to start any objective discussion with a throw away account, so, I'd say keep an open mind.
