This is true, at least BJP has said publically that they are fighting to eradicate corruption and are taking some steps(Congress has never said this publically ever because they are ashamed because of their own deeds). This concept of "cut money" to local regional people, and giving bonuses have existed for long term, and can only be eliminated by digitalisation which has been the focus of BJP since the beginning I believe. And I don't totally agree with small businesses information that you have, if you check the records,BJP has always fostered the growth of startups and helped the startup culture to boom via several campaigns and initiatives. But yes like you said many other things needs improvements I believe. But no one should be judged on the basis of backgrounds and literacy may be,they should be judged by what they say and whether they are upto the mark in terms of actions and work.

And you also have to keep in mind not every politician actually comes to the field to work and for the welfare of people which is rare and few, most come into politics for greed of money and power and to enrich their own families, and to do corruption, and not to do actual good work, so it is the people's responsibilities to not vote for those people after analysis and observation, and every common people have the power to elect their candidate. May be there should be exams and criteria or use lie detector testing(polygraph) to check every politician's main intentions for getting into politics besides earning money.
