It rains for just 2–3 hours, and suddenly India’s “world-class” metro cities collapse like card houses. ₹5000 crore budgets vanish into thin air, but the only thing that rises is the water level on our streets. Citizens crawl like cockroaches through filth, while ministers — 10th class failed, yet power-drunk — zoom overhead in helicopters.
Here’s a breakdown of how our so-called leaders have turned cities into open drains:
1. Rain = Panic Attack
Two hours of rain is enough to paralyze entire cities. Forget reaching home on time — survival itself becomes a question.
2. ₹5000 Crore Budgets = zero Accountability
Every year, municipal budgets touch thousands of crores, yet roads, drains, and sewage systems collapse at the first drop. Where does the money go? Into ministerial pockets.
3. Helicopters for Them, Boats for Us
While politicians fly over the mess in choppers, taxpayers wade waist-deep in sewage water. Two nations — one floating, one flying.
4. World-Class in Name Only
Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru — cities sold as “global hubs” — turn into giant swimming pools overnight. The global image? Down the gutter.
5. Ministers Who Couldn’t Pass Class 10
people who failed basic schooling now “plan” our cities. Is it any wonder that the results look like a failed science experiment?
6. Citizens as Sewer Ninjas
Common people crawl, climb, and swim through filth, balancing on dividers and wading across black waters — like urban ninjas, but involuntarily.
7. The Blame Game Circus
Every year it’s the same story: rainfall blamed, “unprecedented weather” blamed, even citizens blamed. Never corruption, never incompetence.
8. Rich and Poor, Same Fate
Luxury SUVs and rickshaws alike drown in the same potholes. Floods are the great equalizer — except ministers escape untouched.
9. Health Hazard Time Bomb
Waterlogging isn’t just an inconvenience — it breeds disease, wrecks infrastructure, and drains the economy. But hey, PR slogans continue.
10. Rain Turns Democracy Into a Joke
We pay taxes to live like humans, but are forced to survive like cockroaches in flooded sewers. Ministers sip chai in AC rooms, calling it “normal monsoon.”
🔥 Final Word
India’s urban floods aren’t acts of god — they’re acts of greedy, visionless politicians. Until accountability replaces PR, the story won’t change: rain turns cities into swimming pools, ministers fly, taxpayers float.
