It's okay for Mr. Modi to take advantage of that in the elections if it benefits 500M people. That's what every politician does.

Is there something wrong with that? The guy who introduced social security for the elderly and in my country got a statue in Parliament.

If Mr Modi has rolled out free health care to 500 million people, saving millions of lives, probably a good thing and I hope it wins him some votes!

India already has free healthcare for all the citizens. Its just that its not efficient and well managed.
