Protests and people's questions

Protests are now going on every where, there are more than 50 thousand farmers marching towards New Delhi because they have no livelihoods; there are those who are standing at seasides on the ocean  protesting against nuclear power plant at Kudankullam; there are those who are protesting against rising cost of living; there are those who are asking the central government why they do not have any allocation for development in their state. Some want river water to be shared and the Supreme Court has given orders to do so. But others protest that water should not be given when the order has already been executed. Now what?All are raising questions. Some want answers from government on why prices are high? Others like the economic reforms as it would bring in money from foreign countries; non-resident Indians are eager to invest in India, their homeland. Protesters want job in their state from projects in their own state(Noida,UP) Some want explanation on why the son-in-law of the Nation's leader has accumulated immense wealth. Speculations are many. This is one of the rare times that the newspaper reporters have lot to write about.
