These are IT and manufacturing hubs and the respective State governments and the Centre gives them special attention because they want industries and jobs.

Maybe if the elites start taking their lives more seriously and threaten to move away from these cities we might start seeing some action.

> the kind of person who lives in a Housing Society in Noida, Gurgaon, or Ghaziabad doesn't know or care to partake in Gheraos, Bandhs, or Dharns to push their point through.

That's what I wanted to say with my earlier comment.

Yep, but Gurgaon's urban voters don't impact Haryana Vidhan Sabha elections. If I wanna become CM of Haryana, do I want to make 1 MLA's constituent's happy or 3 MLA's constituent's happy. All farmers know burning stubble is bad, but no government (Punjab, Haryana, UP) is providing the money to get rotavators. The only way this solution is solved is by including the majority in the conversation. And if they aren't, well that's Indian politics as you know.
