The population’s outraged response to these events was visceral, and previously unknown figures such as the anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare rallied thousands of Indians in meetings across the country to protest against government corruption. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government floundered, the opposition vainly sought to gain the upper hand.
人民对这些事件爆发了发自肺腑的愤怒，先前默默无闻的反复活动家，如阿纳·哈扎尔（Anna Hazare）发动了数以千计的印度人在全国开展机会运动，向政府腐败示威。辛格政府对此不知所措，而反对派只知道徒劳地乘机捞取政治地盘。
