"We are getting placements. Instead of getting placements from big corporates, we are offered placements from local companies. We expect Wipro, TCS but we get opportunities from only local companies," a young man tells NDTV
"Nothing solid is happening in the government. Students wouldn't have much guts to say much on this. So NOTA"
Uma Sudhir: NOTA?
Man: Not even NOTA.
Uma Sudhir: Why?
Man: Because when we vote, they ask us 100% housing tax, 100% water tax, 100% bus tax and they have 100% raises. Why should we vote for them? They get the salaries and we get the taxes. We don't want it
Man: 100% we have to pay excess and 100% they get raise. That's why I don't vote
