“Fines for Citizens, Free Pass for Corrupt Netas: Why indians Pay Taxes for Potholes and Pain” 🚧💸
indians are fined at every step of life—wrong parking, overspending on credit cards, and even late payments. But when the government fails at its most basic duty—providing safe, dignified roads—there’s no accountability, no penalty, no shame. We pay 32% in income tax and 28% GST, and in return, we get potholes deep enough to swallow lives. Here’s why this hypocrisy is beyond brutal:
1. Citizens Pay, government Plays
From parking fines to traffic challans, citizens are slapped with penalties at the drop of a hat. But when the government’s negligence kills people on bad roads, the system shrugs and moves on.
2. Taxed to Death, Literally
You’re already handing over 32% of your income in taxes and 28% GST on essentials. Yet instead of smooth infrastructure, what you get are cratered roads that look more like war zones than highways.
3. The Daily Humiliation
Driving in india isn’t just a commute—it’s a daily assault on dignity. Dodging potholes, enduring traffic chaos, risking accidents, all while knowing your money funds this misery.
4. Fines for the Weak, Freedom for the Powerful
A citizen with a missing helmet gets fined instantly. But a minister who inaugurates a half-baked road that crumbles in one monsoon? Not even questioned. That’s the brutal inequality of indian governance.
5. Potholes That Kill, But No One’s Guilty
Every year, thousands die in road accidents directly linked to potholes. If a citizen causes an accident, they go to jail. If the government does, it’s silent.
6. The Scam Called Development
Election after election, leaders boast about “infrastructure growth.” The reality is visible on every broken highway and flooded street. The money is collected, the contracts are awarded, but the roads remain death traps.
7. Accountability? A Joke.
In a sane system, officials would be fined, sacked, or even jailed for such negligence. In india, they are rewarded with promotions while the taxpayer keeps footing the bill.
🔥 Final Punchline: The indian government has perfected the art of turning taxpayers into beggars. We pay for dignity, but are served death traps. We’re fined for mistakes, while the system gets away with murder. Until officials are held accountable like citizens, India’s roads will remain proof that corruption drives faster than justice.
