Many of these items have been on the to-do list of every Indian government for decades. But the long history of stasis only strengthens the case for change.
What does “strengthens the case for change” mean?

I would rewrite the text as follows:
Many of these items have been on every Indian government’s to-do list for decades. But the long period of gridlock only makes change more urgent.
Please let me know if this answers your question.

I like this phrase, though you would need to know your audience as to whether it communicates your idea.
As for “strengthens the case” I would put it slightly differently as “emphasizes the need”.
The idea is that if someone is building the case (or argument) for change, the long history of inaction would strengthen their argument.
