Though many of the members were happy that these poor people do not have many issues which they can take up under their fast unto death campaign. Over 60 years of Congress rule has made sure that they take their state of affairs as one that cannot be changed. They have come to believe that their misery is their fate decided by the sins committed in their previous lives. This, in most cases, is not far from truth as, if they were born India in their previous life, there is a high chance they voted for Congress.
In spite of that, congress party does not want to take any chances and is taking all precautionary measures to avoid such a situation. Hence they have decided to advise the Congress Government at the center to increase prices of tents, plastics and materials used in placards. This way starving people will not be able afford these items and hence to formally register their protest. If they plan to sit without any type of shed/tent and placards, then chances are high that media will miss the event as one of the panchayats proceedings, was the feeling among the party members.
Apart from these, congress has also ordered few new projects. This includes taking following actions in and around Jantar Mantar and other potential protest spots.
1. To grow all season fruit bearing tree.
2. Allowing hawkers to put up stalls selling spicy and tasty food items.
They agree that this will tempt any likes of Anna Hazare from continuing their fast. They were of the view that this arrangements will act as Meneka who was sent from heaven to break the Tapasya of Vishwamitra.
Apart from these few other points were also considered, details of which were not available outright.
