For all those who live in India, a bandh is a painful reality. Whether the ruling party or the opposition asks for it, a common person like you and me suffer. A Bandh is another name for “goondagardi, ” plain and simple. The most corrupt CM in the most corrupt state Karnataka is gloating that the bandh called by his party is successful and was a spontaneous reaction of people in his favor. Please, don’t kid yourself. Your goons forced people to down shutters in shops. Others kept their establishments closed to avoid damages due to arsonists who have a free rein on such occasions. They burnt buses and even beat up a Conductor and a bus driver. They ensured that buses were kept off roads, as the common man fretted and fumed. The auto drivers — the most despicable folks on earth, made a neat packet by charging exorbitant rates from desperate people. So were some of the private cabbies. My husband was flying back on Saturday morning, and the Airport is a good 50 km. away. In this scenario, I was tensed. Luckily, he got a Meru cab, which did not even charge extra. And, he was spared miscreants throwing stones.
The ruling government destroys our public property and forces us to lose money through lost business. Really, what kind of times are we living in? And, BJP supports a corrupt CM, and this shameless man comes and gloats on Television. Is there some other place I can go to? Is there any pride left in living in a country of thugs and goons and insidious corruption?
