Bharat Bandh on May 31 to force UPA to withdraw petrol price hike
If the Bharatiya Janata Party was quick to call for a nationwide strike on May 31, to protest the steepest petrol price hike that this country has ever seen, the response from the Communist parties was about as nimble. While the Red Brigade hasn't given any clear indication on whether or not it supports the BJP, it has decided to observe an 'All India Protest Day' on the very day the BJP has planned its Bharat Bandh. It is a very casual approach toward the solution of the problem, but it may work if the general public will cooperate. The actual problem is that the opposition is not strong enough to protest on any matter related with fuel hike and other strong issue on which public opinion can easily be obtained. The problem lies with the production unit of petrol who are supplying fuel to the government. It's pure monopoly business and until some alternative sources comes ou , these Oil suppliers will continue to take undue advantage, whichever political party is in power. The best solution for the problem is to declare 'No petrol day' once a month, on that day common public should not buy a single drop of petrol , so as to send clear message to the oil suppliers that if whole India keep there vehicle shut for a single day , how much loss the company has to bear.
