Otherwise it may be a thread to the whole Nation in the Near Future.

We are a free people in a free country. That means the water and the electricity that we use is ours - so why should we pay for them? Ditto for any other freebies and subsidies we receive. It is our birthright. State Electricity Boards bleeding? Not our problem. Shortfall in power capacity and supply? Too bad. Not enough drinking water for people? Who cares. Lynching someone over water, like in Madhya Pradesh recently? Collateral damage. This is India. You have to undestand that we are Indians. We are a free people in a free country.
