Kunal Kamra slams Ola again, seeks Nitin Gadkari’s intervention: ‘The plight of Indian customers, their voices are not being heard’

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has once again appealed to Ola and asked Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to intervene in the issues faced by Indian customers due to Ola electric scooters.

“Minister @nitin_gadkari please look at the plight of Indian customers, their voices are not being heard. They are not able to go to work. They are taking bad loans to solve the problem which is mainly the responsibility of Ola… When will the government agencies intervene?” Kamla said X reads.

Kamra shared user X’s video and his post. This video from Ranji Nagar, Solapur, Maharashtra shows the Ola factory. The post claimed that the site did not have qualified professionals. Share this video with a caption,

“Alert! @OlaElectric @bhash @kunalkamra88 @nitin_gadkari @narendramodi Shocking experience at Rangraj Nagar, Solapur. All scooters are in bad condition! No qualified engineers/technicians on site. Customer invested their hard earned money is unacceptable (SIC).”

Kamra’s latest post intensified the heated exchange between the comedian and Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. The trouble started when Kamla pointed out the condition of the electric scooters outside Ola’s showroom. Bhavish Aggarwal asks Kamla to help or shut up if he is so worried. Seeing the Ola CEO’s response to Kamla, social media users called Agarwal “rude” and “arrogant”.

Social media users’ reactions

Several X users expressed their concerns under Kamra’s post and asked the government to intervene.

“This is a matter of grave concern and shows the brazen arrogance shown by corporates towards the plight of Indian consumers. Isn’t it the government’s responsibility to protect ordinary Indians from being scammed? The safety of substandard products and services? Who Night watchman?” one user wrote.

“It’s so frustrating to see so many Indian customers struggling to meet their basic transportation needs, @nitin_gadkari. The challenges they face are real – many are forced to bear the financial burden and even take high-interest loans because of these issues It should be managed by service providers like Ola. When can we expect government agencies to step in and ensure accountability? Our people need support and their voices deserve to be heard,” another user wrote.

One user shared their personal experience at the Solapur Ola factory.

“I am from Solapur and I have seen this first hand… the treatment consumers are getting is the worst I have ever seen especially after they paid full price for Ola power,” the user wrote.
