VVIP culture in India must go

Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad slapped an Air India (AI) staff 25 times on 23^rd March because he was not provided a business class seat in all economy class flight. The MP also allegedly used MC, BC (cuss words in Hindi) against a 62 year old AI staff. After that incident the MP justified his action in front of camera. Also Gaikwad has demanded apology from the AI staff. MP Gaikwad’s name was also in limelight in misbehaving with catering staff of Maharshatra Sadan in 2014.It is not that only Shiv Sena MPs are indulged in practicing VVIP culture, many politicians from all parties & many bureaucrats (VVIPs) take illegal advantage of their posts. Politicians & bureaucrats are actually “sevak” of common public and their main aim is welfare of every citizen. But they behave like aristocrats and take illegal & unethical advantages of their posts. There have been many cases where politicians have taken confirmed berths of normal passengers by force in trains. Many VVIPs stops flights & trains by force. Roads are being blocked for VVIP moments. They always jump the line or there are no lines for VVIPs. General public struggles for a confirmed berth in trains for months but VVIP has their own quota in trains. How many VVIPs stood in lines for exchanging or depositing old currency notes after demonetization? The list of VVIP privileges are endless in lndia. A normal person can be shot if he/she overtakes cars of VVIPs or their families.Why we as normal Indian citizens should suffer from VVIP culture. I have same fundamental rights as an MP or IAS office. Why a minister or an IAS officer should be allowed Red beacon vehicles. Why traffic should be stopped for politicians other than PM or President? A life of a common Indian is as much precious as a VVIP. It is good that new Punjab & UP governments have banned red beacons over the vehicle of ministers. I would demand the same action by all the governments. India must change and without this change we can’t become a developed society. Millions of Indians were amazed to see former British PM David Cameroon helping the movers & packers staff in shifting his house hold good after he resigned as PM. Can you imagine a former PM holding boxes full of his own household goods during his shifting? In India such is gesture by politicians or Govt. staffs is unheard. A former US president doesn’t get any privileges like house, allowances, medical care etc. after 5 years of his end of term. In India, even one time former MLAs get lifetime pension. All former PMs and Presidents are allowed to have a palatial accommodation even after their term.It is good that Air India along with 3 other airlines have banned the Shiv Sena MP from flying in their airlines. And Delhi police has filed an FIR against him. No VVIP can slap any person even if the person has committed a mistake. No one can take law in their own hand. I hope that PM Modi will take appropriate actions in eradicating the cancer of VVIP culture. The day normal Indian public will rise, VVIPs culture will vanish. We are responsible for VVIP culture because we tolerate this. But enough is enough, we will not tolerate this further.
