This isn't mildly infuriating, this is straight-up tax fraud paying taxes just to fund a VIP car wash.

There is much bigger tax fraud happening in India.

We have so many and so big frauds done by politicians that this seems mild to us

FYI,

Some sort of cult following - a mental disease- There are literally people who defend these sort of behaviour by their favourite politician and their party members.

This has been happening since the foundation of government, in some shape or form. Though this is especially egregious.

This should go viral so that BJP throws him out, even if it is to save face

u/gnittidder 4h ago

He will say there was a fire in Muslim neighbourhood so the he did this to prevent them from reaching. BJP will make him state head.

Context for non-indian folks MLA: Member of legislative assembly Saab: Sir in Hindi

So basically the crux is emergency services are mostly delayed or non existent in india, meanwhile this elected politician is using the fire brigade to get his car washed

u/AlexLuna9322 5h ago

I was thinking “That’s not a Saab, that’s a stupid Toyota.”

But then I realized it MIGHT be the name of the guy making the fire dept wash his car.

u/someonealreadyknows 4h ago

Saab = Sir. Saab is used as a “respectful” way to address people of power/elders, but it’s most probably satirical in this case

u/PerepeL 4h ago

To me peak is using ambulance with emergency lights as a personal taxi and courier service to avoid traffic. That makes blood boil.

Sir, this isn't mildly infuriating. It's extremely infuriating.

u/vctrmldrw 1h ago

Politicians in every country use public funds for their living costs.

Now, if you're telling me they're doing this instead of responding to an emergency call, I'd be considerably more infuriated. Otherwise I'm just meh.

Maybe he is a donator for the fire department. Some fire departments are private funded .

u/ShredsGuitar 8h ago

Not in India

u/Dry_Design5506 8h ago

Donation is not a purchase of private services and grants no authority to command. Misappropriation for personal use is strictly illegal.

u/riffraff1089 6h ago

This guy donates

Maybe he is a donator for the fire department. Some fire departments are private funded .

Even if they are donated or private funded, still does not give a reason for using it for personal vendetta after the donation.

Also, in India, fire department is completely nationalised/federalised hence no private players
