₹35L+ paid in taxes EVERY YEAR. In return? Potholes, chaos & no law and order. An X friend’s ordeal reflects every honest taxpayer’s pain. Sharing it👇
1. Gurgaon contributes nearly ₹40,000 cr in income tax (FY23), projected to hit ₹50,000 cr soon. Yet, the city’s infrastructure looks like a neglected village. Where is all this money going? Image
2. Roads filled with potholes. Drainage a joke. Power failures routine. Gurgaon, home to Fortune 500 offices, is run more by private players than government. A city built by money, destroyed by misgovernance. Image
3. Law & Order? Vehicles without number plates, tinted glasses, illegal hooters. Police look away. Citizens fear road rage turning fatal. That’s not life, it’s survival.
4. Education & healthcare aren’t better either. Schools charge like luxury resorts, hospitals bleed you dry, yet quality is pathetic. The middle class is paying for collapse, not growth. Image
5. He has been an honest taxpayer for 11 years. But now, like lakhs of Indians, he’s shortlisting countries where life has value & corruption doesn’t rule. Image
6. This isn’t rare. Reports show 22% of ultra-HNI Indians plan to leave India, citing taxes, corruption, poor infrastructure. Brain drain + wealth drain = recipe for disaster. Image
7. The govt keeps selling “2047 dream”. But taxpayers don’t live in 2047, they live in TODAY. They need safe roads, working drainage, reliable healthcare NOW. Image
8. When a top taxpayer says “I want redemption for my hard work & money”, it’s not just anger, it’s a red flag. If the most responsible citizens give up, who will carry this nation forward? Image
9.This isn’t one man’s rant, it’s a collective scream of India’s backbone: the taxpayers. Respect them, protect them, deliver for them. Else, the exodus will only grow Image
10. And yes, I know a few IT Cell folks will scream ‘fake’. So here’s the snapshot of the actual message from the X user 👇 Image
11.1 Sharing a few snapshots of complaints from Gurugram residents, exposing the pathetic potholes and road conditions every monsoon Image

12. Dear @MunCorpGurugram, this is not just feedback, it’s a demand. With the kind of global companies setting up offices here, taxpayers deserve world-class infrastructure, not potholes and chaos. Start valuing taxpayers’ lives and give them a city they can live in peacefully🙏.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter".

One of X friends shared a shocking story that reveals the dirty backdoor hiring practices happening in India’s IT industry.

While genuine professionals are being silently laid off, fake experience candidates are being hired in bulk through corrupt deals.

THREAD👇
1. There’s a growing nexus between shady institutes, corrupt HRs, and Managers in top MNCs.

Example:
An institute gives a 2020 graduate fake documents,
A. 3–4 yrs fake experience
B. Salary slips
C. Bank statements (which DON’T match actual banking data)

All for ₹3–4 Lakhs!
2. He mentioned that, "student" gets placed in a top IT company, with help from a manager who gets a commission from the institute.

Yes, the same managers & HRs who reject real candidates for minor gaps in Form-16, PF mismatch, or salary slips.

A horrifying story shared by my LinkedIn connection, Mr. Sumit Kumar, who trusted Star Health Insurance & Manipal Hospital (Baner, Pune) but was left harassed, looted, and emotionally shattered.
Read this carefully. 👇 Thread:
1. Sumit’s wife had a high fever for 4 days. When things didn’t improve, he took her to Manipal Hospital, Baner on 15 July 2025.

Before going, he called Star Health Insurance to check if Manipal was on their cashless network. They said: Yes sir, it's covered, Cashless is available.
@StarHealthIns @ManipalHealth
2. Trusting that confirmation, he rushed her to the hospital. Since OPD was closed, they were sent to Emergency. Doctors administered IV and immediately recommended hospitalization, suspected Dengue, with risk of recurrence.

By 5–6 PM, she was admitted.

A student from a middle-class family, poured his lifetime savings, ₹77,787 to buy a laptop from @amazonIN . What should’ve been a proud, joyful moment turned into a nightmare.

This thread will make your blood boil.👇
1. On 11th May 2025, he placed an order for a brand-new laptop on Amazon, worth ₹77,787, a massive amount for a student from a middle-class background. The laptop was delivered on 13th May. Image
2.The moment he opened the laptop, shock hit him. Instead of prompting a new setup, it auto-logged into an existing user profile, meaning the laptop was ALREADY USED. No password, no fresh start, just someone else's digital leftovers. Image

I ordered a Dell laptop for my sister from @Flipkart for ₹43,158, her very first. What should’ve been an exciting and proud moment quickly turned into an absolute nightmare😢

Time to expose the mess. A thread 👇
1. On May 8th, I ordered a Dell laptop for ₹43,158. It was delivered on May 11th via Open Box Delivery. My sister politely asked the delivery boy to wait so she could check if it powered on. He refused, saying “just check accessories; returns are always available.” Lies. Image
2. The moment we charged the laptop, it turned into a frying pan. 🔥 The keyboard got so hot, my sister couldn’t even rest her palms on it. We thought maybe it's just updates heating it up… we were wrong.

Real Estate Scam That Destroyed a Decade of a Common Man's Life:

How Sachin lost ₹52 Lakhs, battled depression, and got zero justice, cheated by a builder, a bank, and the system itself.

Read this full story. It could happen to anyone.👇
1.Sachin booked a flat in Supertech Azalia (Sec-68, Gurugram) in Oct 2015 under a subvention scheme. Flat cost: ₹80L. He paid ₹8L upfront. The remaining was financed through Indiabulls (now Samman Capital), a partner of the builder.
2.The scheme promised that the builder would pay all pre-EMIs until possession + 9 months after possession. Delivery was promised by Dec 2019. Initially, things looked fine.

This is the real story of a Twitter friend, a law-abiding Indian citizen, a salaried professional who paid ₹1 crore+ income tax, and what he got in return is enough to make your blood boil.

30 years after buying legal land, it’s still unusable.
5+ High Court orders ignored by Revenue Dept.
The system failed him, despite being a top taxpayer.

Here’s what happened 👇
1. He worked for a multinational company and paid over ₹1 crore in personal income tax over the years. His reward? A “Silver Certificate of Appreciation” from the Ministry of Finance. That’s it? But that’s not what angers him. It’s the systemic rot and how even 5 court orders meant nothing when it came to resolving a simple legal issue.Image
2.His father, a retired Indian Air Force officer who served 35 years and fought in 2 wars, settled in Bangalore post-retirement. In 1995, he legally purchased a parcel of land and registered it. That's where it all started. Image
