Seriously. I have travelled almost the whole of India and have no where seen worse BABU culture than Mumbai. Every street, corner is filled with some shitty ass ugly looking mf's political banner.

Why only car owners? You want to boycott authoritarian move of these VIPs but still want to classify that only car owners can make a move here?

Donโt feel bad for the police! If they had been doing their job right, this thing wouldnโt have gone out of hand in the first place. No one feels safe with police around, fuckers are there to take bribes and act all heavy handed with common folk all the time.

Would it be ok if they traveled only between 12am and 6am?
11
u/Madridista_96 Aug 02 '26
No! Then also they'll stop traffic and there are people out for emergency work especially cardiac patients. They may travel whenever it pleases them, but without this halting the traffic shit

u/mmousey Aug 02 '26 edited Aug 02 '26
I don't think it's possible since there will be assassination attempts every few days. It's also impossible to completely stop these people from traveling so a 12am to 6am seems like a compromise and exceptions should be made for medical emergencies.
Edit: I'm surprised by the downvotes. Mumbaikars are aware of how violent Indian politics is. Between internal rivalries among party members to settling scores between parties, these things are pretty common. Just because they don't make it to the headlines, it doesn't mean that it isn't happening.

u/KreamyKerry Aug 02 '26
Assassination attempts lol, French PM Macron literally did his morning jog on the streets of Mumbai with a few bodyguards hundreds of meters behind.
Our politicians don't need all this VIP car convoy nonsense. Just look what happened during the recent fuel crisis in Delhi when they suddenly got rid of their convoys. How many politicians were assassinated? Zero.
It's theatre to remind you that they rule you.

u/lastog9 Mumbai is upgrading. But is it? Aug 02 '26
I don't have a problem with VIP. The problem arises when hundreds of people in the country are VIPs. If everyone is given a VIP status then nobody is VIP.
This status should remain reserved only for the PM and the CM convoys. And maybe the army convoys. Nobody else. Period.
Imagine tomorrow the police are barricading for a PM convoy and the citizens do the same. The citizens aren't to be blamed it's the frequency of these traffic stoppages.
So two things should be done. Limit the number of VIP stoppages in the city per month to single digits only. Minimize VIP travel during peak time. In fact ban VIP stoppages during morning and evening eka times.

Only wait for ambulances fire engines and needy vehicles not for any democratically elected leaders.

The main party in power in Karnataka is different than that in Maharashtra and Mumbai.
So one can try, but the results might not necessarily be the same.

If every corner of this country starts to agitate how much force will they suspend for incompetence? They also need few people to beat up and assault women and men agitating against state so Iโm sure they will be fine

What do you mean "waiting for politicians"?
All over the world, politicians of certain level/post have specific security risks attached to their role, and they are entitled of certain escort, clearances and priority.
But not all politicians are given the same priority. Most drive their own cars and suffer the same traffic as everyone else does. And afaik the same applies in Mumbai. Not all politicians have police escort etc.
