  1. Common citizen says:

    ‘Reserves facility for VIPs’? What about the common man? Even during the pandemic VIPs are given priority. This is our sad state of affairs.

  2. Shankar says:

    What’s wrong with these “officials” who keeps their masks on to their chin as a show of having “mask”?

    Nothing wrong, but arrogance the like of which you will see in people like Deve Gowda, Suttur Seer and other Kaavi clad God men, minsters etc.. to show to ordinary citizens that they are a cut above them, a privileged class to whom the Covid-19 distancing and mask rules do not apply. This is independent India in 2020, where there are 2 layers of people: politicians, officials, God men ,rich business men on the top layer and the bottom layer consists of mere salaried citizens, the poor and those who are born to serve those in the top layer. Worse than what existed in the British Raj, before 1947.

    “Reserves facility to provide COVID treatment for VIPs, official”
    Yes indeed. Their lives are more precious than the lives of a mere citizen! They include politicians, all officials and others classified as VIPs by the district administration on the instruction of the minister. They deserve a five-star treatment, as they cannot mix with the new untouchables -the ordinary citizens who just get their salaries, pay taxes and hence are considered not worth for special treatment.
    Well done, as the above poster said, independent India in 2020. Aftr the British were kicked out, Indians rule their country, and this is one example of it. JAI HIND!
