You've probably read an Asia story.

The grasshopper and the ant.

In summer the ant does its work.

The ant keeps on working.

The ant prepares and stores its food for winter.

The grasshopper dances.

Winter arrives.

So the grasshopper has nothing.

The grasshopper dies. The ant survives on its own.

But what would happen these days?

The ant is enjoying dinner, the grasshopper is shivering — the nation wants to know, why?

From here three people will shout in favor of the ant, three people will be on the grasshopper's side.

They will ask the government, "The grasshopper is so weak — what do you want to do?"

The grasshopper did whatever it wanted, man.

No government has the courage, no government has the guts to say, "Grasshopper, were you dancing in the summer without asking me?"

Why didn't he save during summer? No one will ask.

But the government will be compelled to intervene in it.

How will the government intervene? Will it be the Prime Minister's plan or the Chief Minister's plan?

The price of the indiscipline of the grasshopper will be paid as taxes by the ant.

The ant will be taxed.

A surcharge will be levied on GST, and the same surcharge will be levied on sales tax.

And money will be taken from the people.

Borrowings will be from the ant to feed the grasshopper.

The Prevention of Atrocities to Grasshoppers Act was passed by Parliament.

Why did you pass it, brother? Because the grasshopper is weak.

Why is the grasshopper weak? He used to dance in the summer.

Why wasn't there any intervention? We won't intervene, because it's his liberty.

So even dying is his liberty.

But no government has the guts to say, 'go to hell'.

What you were going to do…

Liberty to dance in summer gives you a liberty to die in winter.

The price of the indiscipline is always paid by the discipline.
