Todays strike called by the NDA and allies (including CPM) in country is supported by their respective state governments in Gujarat, Karnataka, MP, West Bengal, and others. What a show of strength the state governments through its ruling party using its muscle to shut down the state? How legal this action is supposed to be by the state? Though state government offices are open, they cannot allow petrol pumps, school, college, cinema halls, restaurants, and even medical shops to remain open. State is helpless with there own party cadres..or they have been told to go ahead government is after you. This is how party politics have ruined the Indian governance. The centre and state relations are no more on the mutual respect. One thing the people of India could not understand the centre and state both are functioning in tendem with one another, loss of one public sector unit would effect the funding of the programs and schemes running in the state. The centre cannot go on subsidising the products unless it is an acute requirements. The state should also share responsibilities in curtailing the price rise. Which of ruling NDA or Congress aliances have come up with a policy or strategy to fight against the price rise? There are very meek responses.
Keeping the people in dark is not healthy sign of democratically elected governments. The strike supported by the state government (by not providing security to institutions and people who want to remain open) is an act of negligence and unconstitutional. The law of the country and judiciary should view this seriously when it comes to enforcing the system. The people themselves if require should protest for their rights, but using force or violence in order to get their demands approved is not justified.
What has been happening is central India, and poorer regions is never been made attractive enough for these political parties for protest but its matter of convineience that issues related to urban india has raked a call for 'Bharat Bandh'. My dear countrymen the real 'Bharat' is no more alive..its shining India who is calling for this protest.
The political parties are presenting a posture which concerns only there electoral gains..leading to one election after another. The men on the streets are aghast with burden on their pockets and inactivities of all organs of governance. The right to protest should remain, but not those who are party to the government. Whether its BJP, CPM or other NDA parties the Strikes should be for the larger interests of the people then a few brownie point against congress.
