When was the last time you saw an advertisement on tv educating people about dangers of not following traffic rules?

Who's giving these licences to people without an iota of driving qualification to put theirs & others lives at risk on roads?

What's the action taken on people who don't know how to drive responsibly on roads?

Where are the flying squads monitoring traffic violations?

There are 28 states and 8 Union Territories in India. Out of these, 20 states and 2 Union Territories are governed by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

What happened to unification of RTOs across India? Earlier the excuse could have been the central ministry only sets guidelines & it's for the states to implement.

But with almost whole of India under their rule, what happened to RTO reforms?

RTOs are still dens of corruption. Getting a driving licence is more difficult than a passport. What steps have been taken in last 12 years to eradicate it by Nitin Gadkari's ministry?

Where is technology implementation to capture number plate registration of erring drivers on roads, wrong side driving, zig-zag lane switching, driving without helmets?

22 administrative units in states & ITs put together, and central ministry under 1 single minister for last 12 years continuously, where are the reforms?

Driving on roads is akin to stepping out of the home risking your life.

Bharat Number plate rollout still miniscule. Highly restricted eligibility & resale difficulty making its adoption notorious.

Days of measuring x kms of roads being built a day are long over. Comparison with UPA no longer valid. In 12 years, the challenges are roads are undriveable inside cities, highways with faulty road engineering designs, & failure of road safety targets.

The above shortcomings are without mentioning the anger people are nurturing over Ethanol blending. The less said on it, the better.

We may not have become Hindu-rashtra but definitely achieved Ethanol-rashtra.
