@suritalreja Following this experience on Blinkit, I complained on broken eggs ordered on Amazon, and it gave me a refund for the entire crate of 30eggs for 6 broken eggs. I ended up feeling guilty for complaining 😅
@DealsDhamaka The problem partially lies with the users as well, Vineeth. 90% of the customers don’t return the car in the same condition as they receive it. We use it as a “rental” car rather than our own car. Don’t you agree?
Dear President @realDonaldTrump
Greetings.
As a Member of Parliament from India, I write in response to reports of your congratulations to PM Narendra Modi on the West Bengal Assembly election results.
These are state-level elections—an internal matter of India’s federal democracy. Any external endorsement appears premature and misplaced.
More importantly, serious concerns have emerged. Numerous complaints allege an atmosphere of fear, intimidation, and systemic pressure. There are widespread perceptions that the Election Commission did not act impartially and that its functioning appeared to favor the BJP, raising questions about institutional neutrality.
Equally troubling are allegations regarding the extensive deployment of central forces, which many believe created coercion rather than confidence.
Senior leaders, including Mamata Banerjee, have publicly raised concerns about the fairness of the process. These reflect a broader unease that cannot be ignored.
Democracy is not just about elections—it is about ensuring they are free, fair, and credible. When serious allegations arise, they warrant scrutiny, not celebration.
Were these concerns considered before your statement?
Given your emphasis on democratic values, I urge a more informed and balanced view.
Thank your very much
NEW SCAM BY OLA DRIVERS IN BANGALORE
Extremely disturbing experience with an Ola ride today from Majestic to Jalahalli, Bengaluru.
The ride initially showed a fare of ₹285 in the Ola app. However, after reaching my destination, the driver showed a bill of ₹5950 on his phone and demanded that I pay the full amount. He claimed that I had cancelled some old rides and that the amount would be deducted from his account if I did not pay.
When I tried to explain that my app clearly showed ₹285, the driver started becoming aggressive and repeatedly insisted that I must pay ₹5950.
Since he was speaking mostly in Kannada and I am not fluent in the language, the situation quickly became stressful and difficult to manage.
I then contacted Ola’s emergency support through the app expecting immediate help. Unfortunately, the response from the support representative was extremely disappointing and dismissive. Instead of trying to understand the situation or deescalate it, she repeatedly questioned whether it was a “safety issue”.
When I explained that please consider it as unsafe and that I felt unsafe, the representative responded in a rude and dismissive manner and abruptly disconnected the call stating that it was “not an emergency”. At that moment I was left alone to deal with an increasingly tense situation with the driver.
Fortunately, my house owner arrived at the scene, understood the situation, and advised the driver that we should go to the police station to resolve the matter. I followed him on his bike while the driver followed us in the cab. However, midway the driver suddenly rerouted and fled the area.
This entire experience was extremely stressful and raises serious concerns about:
• Fare transparency on the platform
• Driver conduct
• The attitude and responsiveness of Ola’s emergency support team
An emergency line that dismisses passengers during a tense situation defeats the very purpose of having a safety feature.
@Olacabs@bhash@BlrCityPolice Can you please help with this situation. I can share all the details.
