A post on X has sparked widespread discussion about the priorities of India’s parliamentary sessions. The tweet juxtaposes two images: one of a dilapidated road marked with a "Know Your Road" sign listing accountable officials, and another featuring bjp mp ravi kishan advocating for a debate on the size and price of samosas in Parliament.

Tiwari highlights a staggering statistic—every minute of a parliamentary session costs approximately ₹3 lakh of taxpayer money—prompting a critical question: should lawmakers focus on trivial matters like samosa sizes or pressing issues like infrastructure accountability? The stark contrast between the pothole-ridden road and the frivolous debate underscores a growing frustration among citizens about the efficient use of public funds.

BJP minister ravi kishan raising the samosa issue in the lok sabha during zero hour suggests a disconnect between parliamentary discourse and the real needs of the populace. His call for regulating food prices and quantities across establishments, while perhaps well-intentioned, has been met with ridicule and criticism, especially when contrasted with the tangible neglect evident in the road’s condition.

This debate raises broader questions about the role of elected representatives and the accountability of public spending. With each minute of parliament costing ₹3 lakh, the time spent on samosa sizes could equate to millions of rupees diverted from addressing critical infrastructure deficits. Tiwari’s tweet, supported by a chorus of responses on X, calls for a shift in focus toward substantive issues—such as ensuring the quality of roads and the delivery of public services—rather than indulging in populist or trivial discussions.
