Whether it will create a pressure on government or not, my view is, yes it will. We live in a democratic setup. Protests of any kind are largely noticed by. When people sit on hunger strikes why does govermentor officials try so hard to break them down by hook or by crook?
If it continues genuine people will come out that there is a realistic chance that they can indeed win the elections as public is really pissed by the tactics of our politicians.
How do you judge a new pool of candidates. Well that is difficult.
But yousee, we can check for their work,if they have any criminal records etc. Hell,our present bunch does not come clean even on these. Thats the most disgusting thing. If new bunch was atleast clean on these front,it will make things easier for me to identify with the new lot then with the older one.
Also if some one with as distinct identity as Dr Kalaam comes into picture,you dont even have to think. Do you? So the scenario I mentioned in above para is for new candidates about which we do not know much and for people like Dr Kalaam you do not wait to decide.

For me,if I have to chose from lesser of the two eveils from a country of over one billion people to give me a bunch of leaders, thats a shame and I wish I never become part of that national shame.
