Strike, Bandh, Protest and what not!!!

The Left parties, which are calling for nation wide strikes, to protest against the fuel price hike by the Central Government, seems to be just another political stunt as usual.

I just have a few basic questions to ask for such an act of stupidity and immaturity.

If calling for a bandh can make things better then why not have a bandh every day for every issue, if at all that is something which can help change things for the better.

In fact I would say people like you and me lose the pay of one important day in our life for not going to office, for not doing business, for not being able to get public transport and what not.

If the Left is so much concerned and worried about the price hike why does it not withdraw its support from the central government instead, why does it not suggest some other better measures to the government which are more beneficial to the nation and the people

Why is it always having a nagging attitude to what ever any government does, be it NDA or UPA. If you can’t at least be in power at the centre at least do not discourage people from working and earning their livelihood for your political stunts.

Why have they been wagging the tail of the UPA being in the coalition but not being able to support or oppose anything successfully to the decision made by the centre, what’s the use of being in such coalition where you have no say??

My only ultimate question is cant we demand or ask for things in more productive ways which does general good of the people of the country instead of such meaning less waste of time in the hot summer on the streets affecting the life of those millions of humans who are not interested in such immature ways of protesting. Instead have dignity and suggest measures to the government and the people of the country and then say if they are not followed (if the suggestions are acceptable to interest of the nation as a whole)

P.S – I have not commented on whether the fuel price hike was justifiable or not as lot of national, international and economic factors are to be considered before making a sane comment. My intention in using the name of left parties is just indicative as in the present case, but I mean to overall disagree with any such political outfit which calls bandh creating unrest throughout the country/state/city. There is no specific wish to condemn the left parties as such but the kind of acts I am seeing for the years since I understand things I am not convinced with their moves being such a big political outfit having the support of millions of Indians.
