Putting hassles to the public without toiling much

I don’t think about any collusion between Left parties and the BJP in calling a Bharat bandh on July 5 to protest against the rise in fuel prices. However, these parties should realize that the bandh call would not yield any good result other than the sale of more liquor by Beverages outlets in states like Kerala. And for Marxists in Kerala it is a direct attack on the Judiciary as bandh has been banned in the state by the High Court.

When the employed class and the rich enjoy the holiday created by bandh it is only daily workers to suffer. A daily worker will lose a day’s wage and find it hard to get essential commodities and medicines for ailing ones in home as traders too are enjoying bandh keeping their shops closed. Senior citizens and the unwell will face a lot of difficulties. Putting hassles to the public without toiling much is the trade mark of present day politicians to prosper. Bandh call is a sufficient tool for this.
