Read the above bulletin boards. It is amazing to see such vituperative hatred on the part of the public against the government - who want to ruin the country for vote maximization - that is the common sentiment at least. It is a democratic goverment after all -what did you expect? Unfortunately the populist policies of the government has gone too far and the middle-class is lashing back.

The UPA government doesn't mind setting the country behind just-a-little-bit if the political gains from it could be huge. Unfortunately, the government didn't anticipate this reaction from the new India - a large percent of whom are employed by the private sector. Promising reservations is no longer an easy way to garner votes bitches - this is not the India of 1945.
