Government has the right to kill you if you are 'Ordinary'!

Another proof of the 'world class quality' is revealed with the collapse of suspension pedestrian over-bridge at the venue, Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium a couple of days ago in New Delhi. Strangely no one seems to be accountable to it.
Public works minister told the reporters that the bridge was meant exclusively for athletes and officials. But later Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit played it down saying that the over-bridge was meant for ordinary spectators.
What a shame, for a chief minister to say those words. Does it mean that this Public works department is not concerned about the safety of ordinary people. It has right to kill anyone who is 'ordinary'. Or are the lives of ordinary people so worthless? It is nothing but the crass insensitivity of the people in power.
God save India with such people at power.
