THE BHARAT BANDH:
The ‘ Bandh
‘called by the opposition and allies of
UPA on the price of petrol is justified or not time will tell. As such
there are too many and too frequent Rasta & rail Rokos in our country over
and above, this ‘Bandh’ which will add up to the list of public harassment
which is not a good sign of a civilized society. Most of the petrol pump owners
are directly or indirectly connected to politicians who are or were either in
RS and LS as people’s representatives. On one hand we do not have good public
transport system and encourage people to buy cars or bikes with less interest
rates from banks and on the other hand go on increasing the price of petrol or
diesel every third month, this is double standard at its worst. A few months
back I was surprised to watch an electric two wheeler show room closed with in
two weeks of it’s opening at Bhubaneswar because there were no takers for those
type pollution free mode of transport. The bottom line is lots of black money
is in circulation in the country and like rich countries our rich middle class
too are having two to three four wheelers and a half a dozen of bikes per
family. Our politicians know this hence the escalating price of petrol and
diesel in India is not going to come
down because we have left the decision of pricing with mafias.

Whichever party carries out a forced bandh, indulges in organised crime. What is the difference then between the underworld and the political parties? To think of it, actually it is not surprising, as a large percentage of our politicians are from underworld. The reason is us, who will stoop to any level to get some favors. We will vote and support murderers if it suits our selfish ends. So in short we deserve the npoliticians we get. Bandhs are just a manifestation of the quality of people we have ina party.
