#Delhi strike
The recent strike organized by the Kerala Left Political Front along with other parties in Delhi has sparked debates over its pros and cons.
Strikes often attract media attention and have undoubtedly brought attention to issues concerning the state. The collective action of coming together for a common cause can create a feeling of empowerment. However, the CPM-led agitation did not get help from the Congress, the country's main opposition party.
Though this strike has not affected businesses, livelihoods and overall productivity. In the state, the money spent on transportation to Delhi, stay and other acts resulted in financial loss to the exchequer. Moreover, the strike in Delhi had no valid reason. The argument about
insufficiency of the financial assistance provided to the State by the Centre was categorically refuted by the Minister of Finance in Parliament.
Despite the exacerbation of political polarization and the deepening of divisions, the Delhi strike has no other impact. Moreover, the dubious financial dealings of Exalogic company owned by Pinarayi's daughter also became a topic discussion during the strike.
