In a time when promises often overshadow performance, a sharp and satirical voice on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a powerful new citizen-led trend. Launched by the account @khurpenchh, the hashtag #YeThikKarkeDikhao (Now fix this and show us) is calling out broken infrastructure—and more importantly, those responsible for fixing it.

What’s the Trend About?

The call is simple and direct:

“If there’s a broken road, drain, footpath, park, or any public amenity near you—click a picture or shoot a video and tag your local MLA or MP. Use the hashtag #YeThikKarkeDikhao. Development must now be visible, not just on paper.”

This trend flips the script on traditional grievance redressal. Instead of silent suffering or fruitless complaints, citizens are turning their smartphones into tools of accountability. They are demanding visible action, not empty manifestos. The campaign also calls for a photo with GPS locations so that the place can be verified.

How #YeThikKarkeDikhao Started on X

The controversy began when @khurpenchh, an anonymous user, posted a tweet highlighting the poor condition of a road in the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Department of Rajasthan, Rajyavardhan Rathore’s constituency. What was meant as a citizen-driven push for accountability quickly escalated after Rathore personally responded, accusing the user of political bias and attempting to discredit the post.

Instead of addressing the issue on the ground, the minister’s reaction opened a can of worms, sparking a wider debate on political intolerance, citizen rights, and elected leaders’ inability to engage constructively with digital dissent. What followed was a flood of similar posts from across the region, exposing infrastructural gaps and amplifying the hashtag’s momentum.

A reporter from Dainik Bhaskar also reached out to the Minister for his opinion on the version of events that unfolded online. The particular article by DB has now been deleted.

From Digital Rage to Real Repair #YeThikKarkeDikhao

From pothole-ridden lanes in Uttar Pradesh to collapsed drains in Rajasthan, the hashtag is fast becoming a digital map of neglect. Residents are tagging elected leaders, municipal bodies, and local officials—posting visual proof of civic issues and challenging them to fix them.

What started as a sarcastic tweet has evolved into a growing movement.

X Voices That Amplified #YeThikKarkeDikhao

Many citizens, journalists, and popular commentators have amplified the trend. Some called it “one of the most constructive trends in recent times,” while others praised it for “bringing governance back to street level.”

“No personal attacks. No drama. Just photos of broken things with one sharp line: #YeThikKarkeDikhao. It’s brilliant,” tweeted one user.

Popular voice like Saurabh Tripathi of Lallantop, commented on X

What Happens Next on #YeThikKarkeDikhao?

This trend has triggered several questions:

• Will MLAs and MPs respond publicly?
• Can visual pressure force action where formal complaints fail?
• Will media and opposition parties pick up on these citizen posts?

More importantly, can this lead to “constructive trolling”, where digital rage leads to real-world repair?

This isn’t just another hashtag war. #YeThikKarkeDikhao has shown how social media, when used sharply and smartly, can be a tool of governance, not just gossip.
