About this episode
The episode discusses the lack of accountability in India's governance, highlighted by recent incidents involving Indigo and a fire disaster at a Goa club.
Recently, the utter mismanagement of airline bookings (Indigo) and a fire disaster (Goa club) shook the world. Unfortunately, it didn't shake the nation. In whatever we saw, the blame went solely and squarely to the end parties i.e, Indigo and the Goa club. The governing bodies - the Civil Aviation Ministry, the Goa municipality, and the Fire Services - were not blamed at all. They are there only to take our money, but do nothing. THAT is the problem with India. THAT is why everyone wants a government job.
