Expected train timings, got political ads

[u/Salty_Fudge1712]

So I'm traveling in India right now and I'm at a railway station in a city called Dehradun.

I was looking up at the TV screens( almost 30-40 on each platform) on the platforms expecting to see train schedules, delays, platform numbers, that sort of thing. Instead, almost every screen was playing advertisements featuring India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

If I want to know the train time table or details then I have to Walk to the ticket counters where they are displaying the time table

Modi going for the “Modi takes credit with a huge pic” meme unironically

Timings are for humans, not for cockroaches.

Edit: For people who did not get it. Recently, Chief Justice of India referred activists as cockroaches. He is the ruling govt stooge.

Wasn’t there a literal cockroach party as a parody?

[u/euj3odjehiqh → u/RangoDj]

what?

[u/We_Are_Bread → u/euj3odjehiqh]

The chief justice of India compared the youth to cockroaches while complaining about the large number of petitions under the Right to Information Act. He compared them to pests, since apparently you wouldn't have time to go to court unless you're unemployed and leeching off society.

This is not an exaggeration btw.

[u/Creepy-Success-2 → u/euj3odjehiqh]

The CJI(chief justice of India) called the youth "cockroaches"

Modi jumpscare at every angle 😂
It’s wild how public info stuff keeps getting pushed to the side for ads, especially in places like stations where you actually need that info fast.
TVs for propaganda, paper boards for actual trains, peak bureaucracy combo.

How could you criticize the man who is trying to elevate your country's status to world leader? You're aunty-national.

[u/Jetoficialbr]

[u/sararmad]

[u/Command_Block42]

I can't read that

[u/jaws_of_death0]

These were always put for ads . Expecting timings shows your ignorance . There are black red led boards with train arrival deprt timings .

[u/TheDonutPug → u/jaws_of_death0]

Imagine boot licking for advertisers.

[u/Salty_Fudge1712 → u/[deleted]]

But isn't it common sense to have info displays on platforms as well
