Yet another victorious day!
Indians are really good at it, particularly the communist parties of India. When they declare it as a Bandh it remains so. Public life comes to a total standstill. Left parties have been propagating strikes since their existence. Kerala witnesses a strike so often that it is no more than a day-off from work, stay at home, relax and spend some good time with family.
Today's strike was no different. West Bengal seems to have improved upon it. No transport option for the public was available what-so-ever. The trains were canceled off, buses never took off from depots, flights were either delayed or canceled. People stranded at stations and airport was a common sight.The only vehicle i saw was an ambulance that had the roads all for itself.
Its the turn of Trinamool congress to show protests tomorrow for they too have called for a strike in W.B .
However on the brighter side the day witnessed many states subsidizing on the fuel hike especially on LPG. Delhi residents will have to pay only Rs. 10 additionally on LPG. States like Tamil Nadu, Kerala , West Bengal, Delhi have already decided to reduce the sales taxes on fuel.
On the lighter note none are run bye Congress. But it was the PM who called the support of the states in this crunch situation.
No. Public holidays in India always = (N+n) , where
- N is official
- n is a bandh
