A collection of corrupt cabbages.

A report by a ministry in India ( there are 47 ministries and they have to show they are doing something ) says that there were 59,923 deaths due to speeding last year and 10,553 deaths due to alcohol related accidents on our roads. Seems very low considering how overloaded buses, taxis, auto rickshaws and 2 wheelers are. It is a common sight to see a man driving a motorbike with an older child in front of him, his wife riding side saddle with a baby in her arms and another child squashed between the two. No one has any idea about the rules of driving and it is normal to drive on the wrong side of a dual carriageway to save petrol. Since there is no police patrol there is no control. Driving licenses are issued by the police for bribes so they have no interest in catching poor drivers. It is also surprising why planes are not falling out of the skies. The only airline making any profit is IndiGo whose chief Rahul Bhatia has focused on the danger of bankrupt airlines like Air India and Kingfisher being allowed to continue flying. He says of the US," If they were confronted with a situation where the crew is not paid for months, be it pilots or technical staff, I guarantee they would shut the airline on safety grounds." So how have the despots at the aviation ministry reacted to the concern for the safety of passengers? They have called his comments " uncalled for and baseless ". They must have objected to Tony Tyler, chief of International Air Transport Association, who was in India on 25 July and said," India's aviation sector is in multi-faceted crisis.... this must be resolved with coordinated public policy." He added that government aid to Air India without clear accountability and result " could well send the whole sector into intensive care ". So did the sarkari thugs snarl at Tony Tyler like they did at Bhatia? Tyler was welcomed as a state guest. TOI 28 July. After all he is a white British man who can downgrade all airlines which will stop them from flying to any foreign country. So lick the white man's shoes while threatening the Indian! Meanwhile civil society activist Anna Hazare has again started a fast in Delhi in support of his demand for a strong ombudsman to tackle corruption. While the freeloading press is mocking the lack of crowds at his campsite a Congress spokesman said," It seems he ( Hazare ) and his team want to pressure on the government. Nobody has the right to build unnecessary pressure on the government." What is Hazare asking for? Is he asking for riches, a palace or a fair damsel perhaps? All he wants is for criminals to be put into prison regardless of who he or she is. What an explosive idea. India has large numbers of very clever people. Sadly a combination of criminal morons strangulating the nation.
