Harthal, Bharat Bandh - Festivities

Never understood what political parties gets out of organizing a forced complete shutdown in the form of a 'Harthal'. The state of Kerala had harthal on 15/09/2012 against diesel price hike - called by left parties and BJP .

Now on 20/09, there is going to be a Bharat Bandh, against diesel price hike and the central government's decision to allow FDI.

In Kerala, the left parties and BJP will 'celebrate' 20/09 as a 'protest day' - because in Kerala these parties are always ahead of other states.We, in Kerala, already enjoyed the 'complete shutdown' yesterday..

Only problem is - the hiked diesel price is not showing any signs of coming down.

So if you think like that, the useless harthal of 15/09 failed, it only added to the discomfort of the common man.

Any way, 15/09 failed or not; wishing all my other state countrymen a happy 'Bharat Bandh' on 20/09.

And yes, let's wait and see if that mega, multi-star event brings down the diesel price !!
