Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s Son Claims MP’s Roads Are ‘100%’ Better Than America’s, Gets Trolled

After watching Indian politics for so many years, I understand the simple fact that politicians have to exaggerate a lot. And the only reason they do that is to get votes. They don’t worry that they look like an idiot. They don’t worry if they’re mocked. Because until and unless it gets them the votes, they’re fine with saying anything.

However, that doesn’t mean we’ve to feel sorry for them because they’re doing so knowingly. Instead we should thank them for the memes they give us for free. And who’s here to give you your daily dose of laughter you ask? Well, it’s Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his son Kartikeya.

Last year in October, Shivraj Singh Chouhan had claimed that MP’s roads are better than Washington DC’s, and got mercilessly trolled for saying so. According to NDTV, that wasn’t enough to discourage Chouhan.

“When I went to United States and said, ‘Dear Americans, you must have made roads, but we have made better roads than you,’ the Congress criticised me. I want to say again that our roads are no less than US.”

We’ve been criticised for holding the United States of America to a very high standard and that’s wrong. However, to say that we’ve better roads than them is a bit stupid because potholes in India have claimed more lives than any terrorist organisation. Now if the CM was comparing U.S’s off-road tracks to our main roads, then that would’ve been acceptable.

As the CM had said all this earlier and was trolled, people let his comments slide this time. However, after ABP News reported that his son Kartikeya had reiterated his father’s comments, it wasn’t a pretty ordeal.

“Yes, Madhya Pradesh’s Roads are much better than America’s. Arre I’ve Been to America, I’ve Seen it. And I Can Tell You People That Our Roads Are 100% Better Than America’s!”

It’s abundantly clear that Kartikeya has taken after his father and believes that our roads are better than America’s. Now, it’s his (or their) opinion and opinions don’t care about facts and I can’t do anything about that. But that means that he has to face everyone else’s opinions which is formed from actual facts.

Netizens held Kartikeya’s arm and took him straight to troll town to show which roads are better and which aren’t.

1. Bada Pappu will be proud.

2. The worst thing is that he might not be joking.

3. That’s debatable.

4. Don’t do drugs, kids.

5. Swargalok has roads!?

6. Oh! Definitely.

7. We’re in the era of jumlas.

8. You got the moves like Govinda.

9. Does MP have good weed?

10. That makes more sense.

11. Khoob jamega rang, jab mil baithenge teen yaar. Aap, main aur ganja!

Something tells me that these politicians have confused trolling with appreciation. Because that’s the only logical reason why they’d keep flinging these absurd comments despite knowing the truth. I hope both son and father actually take a trip through the streets of Madhya Pradesh and win people’s hearts by fixing them. Or they can keep getting trolled if they prefer that to the alternative.
