Burj Khalifa Glows, india Sinks: Modi’s Birthday Lights Paid for by Your Broken Roads
Dubai’s Burj Khalifa lit up with images of PM narendra modi on his 75th birthday. A dazzling three-minute spectacle. Price tag? ₹60 lakhs. Meanwhile, back home, taxpayers are still dodging potholes, wading through sewage water, and wondering why garbage is the only thing that gets a permanent place on indian streets. Here’s the hypocrisy, broken down:
1. ₹60 Lakhs for 180 Seconds of Ego
Burj Khalifa rents out its façade like a billboard—₹60 lakhs for three minutes. Modi’s face got the slot. Your tax money paid the bill.
2. PR Abroad, Potholes at Home
In Dubai, Modi beams larger than life on the tallest tower in the world. In india, you can’t even drive 5 km without being shaken into a chiropractor’s office.
3. Waterlogging vs. Light Shows
Our streets turn into swimming pools every monsoon. But instead of fixing drains, the government spends crores illuminating foreign skyscrapers. Priorities, much?
4. Garbage Mountains in india, Glitter Towers Abroad
Burj Khalifa sparkled, but back home, India’s landfill sites look like man-made mountains. The garbage crisis doesn’t trend, but Modi’s birthday sure does.
5. The Taxpayer as an Unwilling Sponsor
Your tax money is funding PR stunts while basic civic amenities rot. You didn’t just pay GST on your food—you paid for Modi’s face to beam in Dubai.
6. The Big Lie: Development vs. Decoration
Modi sells “development” as his brand. But what we really get is “decoration”—temporary, flashy illusions abroad while india crumbles inside.
🔥 Bottom Line: India’s tallest problems—broken roads, waterlogging, garbage—remain unsolved. But hey, at least the tallest building in the world got a 3-minute Modi birthday ad.
