Hyderabadis thank Ivanka

Hyderabad people are expressing their deepest gratitude to Ms Ivanka for her visit to Hyderabad. She will be in Hyderabad for Global Entrepreneurship Summit, which will be held in Hyderabad from November 28 to 30. The netizens took this opportunity to express their gratitude on social media. Of course this is a satire, as TS government took the measures on war footage to show Ivanka, a beautiful Hyderabad. The viral post is as below:

*Dear Ms. Ivanka Trump. As a citizen of India, especially as a citizen of Hi-tech city, Hyderabad, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and thanks for coming to Hyderabad. Your gesture of coming to Hyderabad has made our lives at Hi-tech city so glad. We are used to disgustingly terrible and bumpy roads in this place. Thus, we used to get stuck daily in traffic jams. As you are planning to visit this place, my government has ensured the roads look clean and smooth. Thus, for the past 2 days, there have been no traffic jams. We are highly grateful to you for easing our lives in India. Also, let me request you to visit Hyderabad at least twice in a year. In case you are busy, please send your pet at least, as your pet is lot more precious and worth than the citizens who strive to live here and pay taxes. Thank you very much Ms. Ivanka Trump “.

To be frank, though people are really happy for nice roads in Hydeabad for past couple days, they got a a question that whether only visiting delegates deserve such quality roads in Hyderabad but they, the tax payers, do not deserve those roads? Also everyone got surprised as all these works are completed in just a week of time, letting people know how fast a government can be if it REALLY wants to do some “concrete” work. Earlier also Hyderabad police moved all the beggars in the city to rehabilitation centers so that they will not be in sight when foreign delegates visit and this move drawn criticism that it is an insensitive move.

There is nothing wrong in giving superior treatment to visiting delegates, especially in the country that believes “Athidhi Devobhava”. But the residents should get at least normal treatment that they deserve. Citizens just requesting one thing – these new roads will be good for around 3 months and by that time Ivanka’s visit and other international conferences happening in Hyderabad will be over. If the government is really serious and concerns its citizens/ residents, they should make all efforts to maintain the roads the same way as they are now, even after all these delegates left.
