National Hartal/band.
Today India faces national hartal/band called by all opposition parties.
Common citizen’s because the high and ever increasing prices of common commodities making life not so easy. May be opposition is right in exercising this political too. But one should view it from the point of view of common people too. Serious patients will not be able to reach hospitals, many would die on roads for getting the road blocks, burning tyres will cause immense pollution, students will miss classes, trains will be delayed, some bogies will be burnt and like wise some cars or trucks too, workers will miss their salary of the day, poor will not be allowed to work etc. This list of hardship will become large enough. Today would account for loss of Crores of rupees.

When right of governance is given to one party let them rule the way they like. Opposition should take their arguments to public by organizing debates rather engaging in national band etc.
I wish to take the issue of increase or decontrol of petroleum products; we have seen the impact of this on our economy and unwanted burden on Oil producing Companies. By not going ahead we intend to make these Companies sick and finally fade out in history as poorly managed ones. Providing relief has not gone to poor but enjoyed by middle class or effluent business communities. Instead it would be better to give security for food to the poor, utilize this money for national reconstruction or giving social security to old or poor, some sort of health cover for old age etc. In the name of subsidizing petroleum products the amount spent is not in the right direction.
Congress has failed to live up and explain the reasons to the public and their party workers are not involved this time.
What ever it is one can not justify such colossal loss in the name of national agitation by the opposition?
