This is one of the outcome of commie gov failure
When they do build it, folks refuse to use it anyway.
India has been a secular federal republic since 1950, governed in a democratic parliamentary system.

Sounds like a cultural change. They should go into the rural areas and educate and convince them, and make changes based on feedback from rural villagers.

In my anecdotal observation, there are 20% commies in the country but 80% commies in gov.

You forgot about the Dictator Indira Ghandi and the Congress iron-fist control of India until the 1990s.
Bollywood is still controlled by Congress Party apparatchiks. As any centerright Indians, exactly what is happening with Hollywood here, except there it is all about pissing on Hindu History and praising "Cosmopolitan" Muslim figures from the past, who get much sanitized (ie it leaves out all their beatings and oppression of Kaffirs, the Jizya, etc)
Indira Gandhi tried to be a dictator but was ceremonially dumped in the elections.
Utter nonsense. Indira Gandhi tried to be a dictator but was ceremonially dumped in the elections. She was probably the most awful leader India has seen, until the arrival of the current Modi regime. She wasn’t a communist however, more of a kleptocrat, promoting and protecting crony capitalists.
India is the No. 1 country in the world for open defecation, with over 344 million people without regular access to toilets in the country, according to 2017 statistics from the World Health Organization and UNICEF. If you add up Nos. 2 to 10, it still wouldn't come close to India's number, showing just how big the problem is there.
Huge strides have been made to reduce that figure through Swachh Bharat and other sanitation efforts. WHO and UNICEF report the number of people practicing open defecation was twice as high in 2000, at 764 million.
How did India become the No. 1 country for open defecation in the first place?
Overpopulation and a lack of sanitation infrastructure have contributed to this health crisis. Additionally, India has often failed to properly maintain public toilets after the're built.
Cultural behaviors play a big role too. Purity is an inherent part of toilet etiquette in India. According to common customs, toilets are often built outside the home and deemed unclean. That means many people in India still see open defecation as a more sanitary option than using a bathroom in or near the home. Because of this, even after the government builds new toilets for people, they will go unused, instead functioning as storage rooms.
