36 years, it had to start some where, where politician starts to answer to some one. Every one knows either democracy or not democracy, the poor will suffer either way. This government may be the only hope this country has to take a turn to a new direction and new generation gets chance to run the country. Lets hope intention of this government remain the good of the country.
