Nitin Gadkari ji says "A new AI-driven toll system will capture photos of number plates & deduct toll amount directly from bank accounts". So why can’t we use same technology to capture photos of potholes & deduct salaries of govt employees? Accountability can't be one sided!

₹19,000 crore. That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’ Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers. From the poorest accounts in the system. Their crime? They didn’t have enough money. A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty. A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty. A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty. The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor. Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances. In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.

What’s the point in releasing such photos of the Indigo CEO sitting with folded hands, when the truth is that it is the government that has buckled and rolled back the FDTL norms and has been unsuccessful in taking stringent action for disruption in the skies? The culprit isn’t the airline but those who turned a blind eye to the market capture& allowed things to fester till this point
