When people oppose economic reforms

New political moves have isolated some politicians. When government would not rollback the diesel price rise; when FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) is here to stay, a roll back was impossible. But few states had proposed that the number of subsidized cooking gas cylinders would be increased, as a part of negotiations (bargaining). Still, adamant to her own beliefs, the regional party’s leader had pulled out of the coalition government. This has given opportunities for other smaller parties to come to the forefront. The adamant politician has brought ruin to her own state; the new increased number of hired personnel of the government will not be getting salaries. And all plans would become pointless now. Being too emotional in representing the needs of the common man, the Politician had gone too far and had resigned. Now her supporters, her people, are completely sunk. Who will speak for them now? If she “cries wolf” and resigns for small changes, what will she do when big problems befall the people? Now big problems have come.

People chose another way to protest against the price rise. Now we have “Bharat Bhandh” when all those protesting shut down their shops and establishments to revolt against the government’s actions. Other parties joined together and went on a March at the capital(New Delhi). They want that the pressure on the people be reduced. They vehemently feel that diesel price should not be raised as much. That means reforms cannot  take place now. Are not these reforms meant to lift the economy up therefore relieve the people? This event came and went; it has not resulted in any change in government’s policies. Now what is next?People's will or reforms?
