hey guys i just came across this artical check it out ??? The protest programs of the seven agitating parties do not have any significance, despite the number of people in the streets.It is of no value because the middle class, educated families who understand the situation very well are not taking part in it. The main leaders are also not in the streets protesting. Those who say that they belong to a certain party are paid to create violence, Rs. 500 per day with a bottle of beer and a good meal. These people in the streets are mainly paid for their actions and doesnot come as a act of self defiance. There is a good amount of Maoists rebles, and that is the main reason for the violence and the brick bats.The educated people understand the fact that protests of such violence will only take the nation from bad to worse.
