This is a classic example of how much we, the people of India, put our hopes on the politicians and VIPs to save our lives.

IBN Live reports: (bold emphasis by me)

Politician and actor Chiranjeevi was almost electrocuted when electrical wires bust into flames over his head while he was campaigning for municipal elections in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

Residents say the dangling wires have been a major threat for several days now and hope that at least this incident would make the authorities sit up and notice.

And such hope is nothing new in our country. People wait for a visit from an ex-President, a national party leader or a minister from the center to visit their place to get a road built/repaired properly. People wait for a party meeting to happen to ensure that they do not lose power in their rural area at least during the meeting time. And such visits do make an effect, though it is short-lived. Then we wait for another visit by our kind politicians/leaders/officials.
