    People here bring politics in everything. The person didn't deserve to die. He looks like someone suffering from great financial problems at home and just couldn't get help. The problem isn't who is traveling in free buses or not. Its about bus owners not paying enough salary for these drivers.

    Cannot estimate the number of individual people and families and small businesses (MSMEs), which have gone bust and more are in the process of crumbling down anytime, thanks to demo, GST, and lockdown!! What is published in mainstream media is only the froth on top; stock market and other macro economic parameters do not show the damage that has happened in the micro markets!

    15 Lakhs + interest since 2014 would have saved his life.

    Why Hindus are not able to withstand the stress level and manage their family, social & monitory affairs with better understanding... there is a greater need for counselling sessions to make emotionally courageous. One should build immunity to social shame by ignoring those who indulge in towards others.
