VIP family culture
If you think self annointed VIPs only block traffic, think again.
A couple days back, I visited the ancient Someshwara Temple in Bangalore. As I walked towards the temple, there were a dozen police personnel near the entrance. Vehicles were being turned away from the road. The municipal workers were furiously cleaning the space. I thought, God was scared of humans and had requested for security.
Once inside, another security person, asked me and others to wait at the side. There were about 4 or 5 such security persons. After about 20 mins, 2 ladies walked in followed by their chelas/thondargal/assistants, the police and security personnel. They were inside for about 15 mins. We were all shooed to one one side to clear the way for them. They Came out draped in a silken shawl and were followed by all the above mentioned followers.
Apparently one was the wife of one of the self anointed VIPs. For her, the commoners had to wait for 30 mins and spend the govt personnels' time and money and the vehicle for a private visit.
What a privilege !!!
And we get potholed roads, unwalkable footpaths and garbage at every street corner (thank the civic workers for trying to clear some of the muck). more

Religion is the most convenient tool for politicians to rule. Once we learn to confine our religion to the four walls of our home, we will also be free from these political gods. more

Come which ever govt this vip culture is not going to go away there is not a single minister who does not abuse this culture and all govt officials are chelas of them and are afraid of them since if they do not obey them then they are taken to task and shunted out to an obscure place.Even though all the DC and other people who have studied for so many years to get into IAS/IFS ETC high posts do not have any respect in front of these ministers who might not even have passed tenth std and only know how to loot the country and only do goondaism .The tax we pay goes into their salary and they do not do any service to the common man or even country it is a very pathetic situation in the country which has been propogated by earlier govts. more

Who will bell the cat ? Even HC Judges want special lane at toll plazas. Ex VIPs (netas) get the same privileges. In Chandigarh the number of VIPs is very high, being capital of 3 States. more

This VIP culture is omni present, police will make us wait in traffic signals and create artificial congestion in way and create zero traffic to their fellow Police jeeps, now a days they use mobile phone to keep in touch with such police jeep and Politician netas and VIPs. Traffic police in this process dont even care Ambulances, Common man who has to reach the office in time. This kind of artificial blockage lead to congestion and trigger accidents. Kindly escalate this grievance and automate the signals with objectivity and reduce the subjectivity. Thanks more
