Shame on you Mumbai- few hundred people turn up in the Fight against corruption

There is a person called Anna Hazare's whose health mounted on Wednesday afternoon with doctors advising him to end his fast as its continuance could affect his kidneys.The 74-year-old activist's sodium and chloride levels have gone down and there are signs of dehydration but no congestion in chest or throat.
 "We strongly advise discontinuing the fast as continuing it may lead to kidney failure. There is evidence of dehydration," Ashwin Mehta of city's Jaslok Hospital, who examined Hazare along with P P Lahane, Dean of JJ Hospital, said. But what is get after all this check out below-

On Day 2, Anna Hazare's fast hardly has any crowd. what is the point of fighting for corruption when no one want to be part of it.

The second day of Anna Hazare's three-day long fast saw only a limited number of people at the MMRDA ground in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex locality on Wednesday.
 
First  photo from left is from Mumbai (shame) and  left photo is from Delhi. where people supports the cause.

On Tuesday, when the 74-year-old Hazare had started his fast, the estimate of people at the venue varied between 4,000 to 10,000, which was in sharp contrast to up to 30,000-40,000 that poured in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan in August."It seems people of Mumbai are busy with work. They don't have time for social causes...burning issues like corruption," I feel like the people of Mumbai don't care, they are happy with the corruption and corrupt government and why not 90% of people are corrupt anyway. Shame on the people of Mumbai.

 

As per the news 

The crowd is much less than what we had expected from Mumbai. Had Anna been fasting in Delhi, the response would have been phenomenal. But the crowd was relatively low in all parts of the country, except Delhi, maybe it was due to the year-end," he said.


Majority of the supporters present at the venue are from the northern states of the country like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.

"The crowd has been relatively low here, compared to Delhi. It was much less than what I had expected. We haven't seen many Mumbaikars. Instead, a lot of people from different parts of the country are here to support," Pavitra Singh, who came from Punjab. 

The crowd might be less due to several reasons like reports on the threat to Anna would have stopped people from coming here. Also, the place is a commercial hub, so the working class come and go as per their convenience," he said.

Singh, who is fasting, works for a local NGO in Punjab that focuses on issues related to youths.


Even a top Hazare aide, who did not wish to be named, expressed disappointment over the poor turn out. 
Now who can will help India against corruption when the people of India don't want to fight.
