From broken infrastructure to fuel adulteration, indians face daily torture while the government beats its chest about “development.” Reality check: the aam aadmi is left with potholes, costly petrol, and no relief. Here’s the ugly truth, point by point:
1. Highways to Nowhere
Despite tall claims of “world-class highways,” indian roads are filled with craters. Accidents spike, vehicles are damaged, and lives are lost—but accountability is missing.
2. Potholes = Public Death Traps
Year after year, potholes claim thousands of lives. Yet, contractors, babus, and politicians thrive, while citizens bleed—literally—on the roads.
3. Petrol Mixed With Ethanol, But Prices Still Sky-High
The bjp government pushes ethanol blending, claiming it reduces imports. But consumers don’t see cheaper rates—only lower mileage, engine troubles, and inflated fuel bills. The savings go to the government, not the people.
4. Taxed to the Bone
indians pay some of the world’s highest fuel taxes. Excise duties keep the government coffers overflowing, while families cut budgets just to afford daily commutes.
5. Development = Jargon, Not Relief
From Smart Cities to Bullet Trains, the BJP’s “vision projects” grab headlines. But what good are bullet trains when ordinary citizens can’t even drive safely on cratered roads?
6. Accountability? Missing in Action
Every pothole death, every overpriced litre of fuel, every broken promise should shake governments. Instead, silence and excuses rule, while citizens are treated like expendables.
7. People Pay, Cronies Gain
Road projects = contractor scams. oil imports = refinery profits. Taxes = government bounty. Who loses? The common Indian. Who wins? Cronies, contractors, and the ruling party’s PR machine.
⚡ Slap-on-Face Punch:
“Acche Din” promised smooth rides and affordable fuel. What india got instead: potholes that kill, petrol that drains pockets, and a government that thrives on people’s misery.
