Good move by the people.
They change the plan so that minister's buildings and lands do not get effected. Only ordinary peoples'. These are the very people who elected them.

Blind faith? When building an expressway, they should look into the welfare of the people who live near the road but they only protect the local politician.

When government grabs peoples lands, very little compensation is paid, and that also after many years. No wonder they are protesting.
