Kunal Kamra criticizes Ola again and asks for Nitin Gadkari’s intervention: “The plight of Indian customers, their voices are not heard”

Comedian Kunal Kamra has once again criticized Ola and asked Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to intervene in the problems faced by Indian customers due to Ola’s electric scooter.

“Minister @nitin_gadkari Look at the plight of Indian customers, their voices are not heard. They can’t get to work. They are taking bad loans to solve a problem that is mainly Ola’s responsibility… When will government agencies intervene? Kamra wrote in X.

Kamra shared a video of an X user and his post. The video is from Ranjnagar, Solapur, Maharashtra, and shows an Ola installation. The post claims there are no qualified professionals on the site. The video was shared with a caption,

“ALERT! @OlaElectric @bhash @kunalkamra88 @nitin_gadkari @narendramodi shocking experience in Rangraj Nagar, Solapur. All scooters in poor condition! There are no qualified engineers or technicians on site. Customers invest their hard-earned money. Unacceptable (SIC)”.

Kamra’s latest post adds to the heated exchange between the comedian and Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. The trouble started when Kamra pointed out the condition of electric scooters outside an Ola showroom. Bhavish Aggarwal asked Kamra to help him if he was so worried or to shut his mouth. Seeing Ola CEO’s response to Kamra, social media users called Aggarwal “rude” and “arrogant”.

Social media users react

Several X users expressed concern over Kamra’s post and called on the government to intervene.

“This is a cause for serious concern and an indication of blatant corporate arrogance in the face of the plight of Indian consumers. Isn’t it the responsibility of the government to protect normal Indians from being scammed? Safety from substandard products and services? Who watches the watchman? wrote one user.

“It is disheartening to see so many Indian customers struggling to meet their basic transportation needs. @nitin_gadkari. Their challenges are real: many are forced to bear financial burdens, including taking high-interest loans, due to issues that 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,” wrote another user.

One of the users shared his own experience at the Solapur Ola facility.

“I am from Solapur and have witnessed this first hand… The way consumers are treated is the worst I have ever seen, especially after they have paid the full amount for Ola Electric,” the user wrote.
