Terrorists - Armed and Elected

During the last fifteen days, I had the curse to witness to different groups of terrorists.

News 1

Armed Maoists kidnap the drivers of the Delhi - Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express Train. All the passengers were taken hostage. The demands of the kidnappers included release of their top leadership in jail. After a drama of 5 hours or so, the train was finally let free and the kidnapped drivers were found to be safe.

News 2

Three ministers of the BJP government and about 50 MLAs go off to the neighbouring Andhrapradesh, staying a resort and demand the removal of the Chief Minister. They demand the removal of certain officials (who are alleged to be honest), a woman minister (who is alleged to be quite efficient) and a top Bureucrat of the State. They also want policies that will affect the profitability of their Mining company changed. After a drama of 15 days or so, all these changes are conceded by the Chief Minister, all those officials, bureaucrat and minister are dropped and the policies changed.
Now, tell me, is there any difference between these two sets of terrorists? The first set of terrorists and kidnappers were armed; so the press (local and international), the government and all concerned condemn it.

The second set of terrorists and kidnappers are elected by people; they use blackmail and get away with all their demands conceded. So, the government hails it as 'crisis resolved; new deal worked out' etc.

At least, the first one did not result in any harm to the common public, except for the inconvenience for a few hours. But, the second one made the government go limbo and their top-priority of providing relief to the flood-affected thousands had to be shelved for good 15 days. Isn't this more criminal?

Awful.
