I strongly oppose this bandh and it is a known fact that the political parties use this as a chance to play political games.
1) BJP and opposition parties use this to gain votes.
2) When BJP was in power, the petrol price was raised 7 times in 4.5 years, so practically speaking they knew the fact that the hike in price was unstoppable.
Political parties must keep in the mind that people are well aware of the political game.
This bandh is just an eye wash and it will not bring any price reduction.

Well.. Another GD topic which is generated from the solution which has been already derived.
I Meant it is well known fact that bandhs will never bring soultion for any problem. Which we have met already.
But our topic deals with "Recent Bandhs" bring a solution for the rise in petrol prices.
When i see the word recent bandh it happend two days before. but does it had any effect?
For corporates if the claim is less than recall they don't do recall. Think about crores more who will be pushed below poverty line.
In the coming days we will only see Ambani brothers to be the richest people in Earth, and congress and SP will the party with most black money.
since am from tamilnadu,
Bharath Bandh: A flop show in TamilNadu
Can you show me a single successful bandh by DMK when ADMK was in rule?
Cow dung will be in each opposition face in case of TN if they go for bandh.
DMK had lot of buns made of cow dung in past.
On the whole , it did not give solution but just a single day brought our Nation Together
if People Stay United, Our Nation Can End Corruption, if People Want.

The bandhs are more a show of strength of organizers of bandhs rather than a means to solve people issues. It is shocking that bandh was supported by ruling parties in several states.
The best way to protest and highlight peoples' problems is to hold mass meetings and rallies without disrupting normal functioning of the economy and daily life. The very people in whose interest bandh is organized suffer the most.

When BJP was in power and when it hiked petrol price the inflation rate was just 3%
I hope you know whats todays inflation.

The max the people liek you and me can do is sit inside the house and enjoy TV in the name of Bandh
Have you ever been to any such mass meetings of some political party with such agenda?
We wont thing of attending such mass meetings but we expect people to do so and advise them to do so. :P
Bandh should be used as a last resort. It is an effective method of showing to ignorant govt. that people are dissenting against it. In this case the bandh was justified.

No.. never... Bandhs or harthal cannot bring a solution for the rise in petrol prices. If showing protest is the need, why should not we adopt other methods.
What happened actually is the rise in petrol price is a burden for the people and the bandh increased the suffering of the people. Not only the common people, the whole country losses from such bandhs.. total loss of the country and its production for a days's bandh is about crores.
Why is this so ? we have to change..
Protest for people should not become .. protest against people.. !!

Naveen,
I support you that Bandhs are used by the political parties for their benefit. Also, rise in petrol price cannot be avoided, but government is responsible for taking necessary steps to reduce the burden on common people.
Sajeetharan,
Its true that if people are together, bandh is not a big thing that we cannot resist. Places like mumbai, delhi, tamil nadu etc. are less affected by most of the bandhs. Its because people doesn't support it and they know the reality. They are ready to raise their voice.
On the other hand, places like kerala is waiting for a bandh to declare. They celebrate it as a holiday by forgetting the loss suffered by the nation ; and indirectly by themselves.
If people are ready to accept the truth and stand stood to raise our voice, then we can easily resist such bandhs and harthals.
Santhosh,
But why so..
Its true that its a political game. the fact is that we all know that. Then why we are not standing against it. If people stand together against such social injustice, we can easily fail such practises..
Don't forget that India is still a Democratic country.. !!
Gulshan,
Political parties use it to show their strength. Ruling parties even SPONSOR bandhs in their state to show their protest against the central government.
Filing public interest cases etc. are a good practise to show our protest...

I oppose this bandh...
it will not make any effect on the current condition
why people dont see every aspect
government is losing around 6-7 ruppe per litre every day,so directly government is losing crores of rupee in the form of subsidy
so government is bound to take such step...
bharat bandh will not effect any thing

Opposition try this to attract public after bandh there is not effect on Govt. but still opposition got benefit of bandh nothing else.
If opposition able to bring result then we can say that they are doing some thing good but after bandh there is no any other action to bring such good result.

Well told Jobin.
In my opinion "Bandhs are political dramas".But we should also think something in other angle.
If a government goes on increasing all the prices and the opposition parties are sitting idle without any protest people will ask each other why there is no protest? So in our country bandhs and harthals are the common way of immediate protest.
Those who conduct it knows that it will not reduce the price.Also the ruling party knows that it will be adjusted by people within a couple of days.
So we public has to do something here.It is not Harthal or Bandh.We have to protest continuously against such action without looking the colour of flag or name of party.Whatever be the adverse action people had to respond united.If one days protest does not make the government to think go for next day and surely when it prolongs there will be some action.Also people should take care not to exploit it by any parties.
Any other one day protests or some hours protests will not do anything other than people suffering again on a permanent suffering.
(Sorry for being late , due to some net problems with my system)

For this to confirm and boast that opposition did not protest Govt in parliament, you need to watch zero hour on TV instead of NDTV and CNN.

If you can exhibit the knowledge of Mahatma Gandhi here then i guess you should have concluded that peaceful bandh was the first step of stayagraha taught to Gandhi by Leo Tolstoy and then later on by Gandhi to all us Indians.
The national bandh was in peaceful exactly on the guidelines od Mahatma Gandhi.
Even Gandhi put his requests in all these ways like a) talk to the concerned people b) request them c) arrange the masses and mentally prepare by such peaceful protests (like this national bandh d) wait for decision e) again warn the authorities before going to satyagraha f) then satyagraha g) finally if no results than fast unto death..
But at that time he has masses supporting him unto his final fast unto death
Here today are we dedicated to be with such protest to that satge..
Just one support for bandh and people like you have started shedding the self knowledge to the masses about the adverse effects.reason is peopel like you expect every thing to be designed in plate and served.

I remarked in a recent post that bandhs are more a show of strength. Even then bandh is showing some affect. It has been reported that the Govt. is attempting to convince the oil companies not to raise prices sharply soon. The strategy seems to be to dilute the current tense situation and the prices may be raised later. Thus the bandh may have short term benefit to people.

Can you justify how this bandh is peaceful,if people where forced to close their shop,stones have been trown on trains and buses.political poster were burned..
[/hide]
It was all Indian bandh, so few posters and all are to be ignored, acts of isolated jokers. There is more burning and tension in Kashmir than whole India taken during 5th July bandh.
did i abbuse anyone? what do you mean?

@ vijay
Government can give subsidies or reduce tax to lessen the burden on the common people. Rather than preparing for studies or meetings, what's the benefit in conducting bharath bandh.
@ santhosh
Opposition parties are liking to conduct such bandhs against the ruling party to get the attraction of the people. They want to show that they are along with the people. This is just a show off. nothing else.
@ abid
Thanks for accepting my wording. A harthal or bandh lasts for just two days and after all of us forgets to protest against the cause. Even those who suggested to conduct harthal will also get quite after their motive is made. They even don't look back to people.
Harthal just give a big hype for the people's protest against the cause, its made to the maximum and after that we too forgets to continue the protest.
