Bharat Bandh

      Today, Opposition parties announced Bharat Bandh, and it is supported by almost entire opposition parties of country. The call for Bharat Bandh is in protest against price rise of all the petroleum products –
  • Petrol – 3.73 Rupees per liter
  • Diesel – 2.00 Rupees per liter
  • Kerosene – 3.00 Rupees per liter
  • L.P.G. – 35 Rupees per Cylinder
infect as per government words, it cannot afford subsidies on petroleum products, thus it has deregulate price control on Petrol; on diesel right now government is still bearing 1.39 paisa subsidy, which will gradually ends; on kerosene government is still giving sixty percent subsidy and on L.P.G. government is passing 225 Rupees subsidies on every cylinder. As per words of Prime Minister subsidies on Kerosene and L.P.G. will be continue. Opposition parties, which comes together on to the call of Bharat bandh, are –
  • National Democratic Alliance (N.D.A.)
  • Communist Parties
  • Samajwadi Party
  • All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam
  • Telgu Desham Party
  • Biju Janta Dal
  • Indian National Lok Dal
and convener of N.D.A. Mr. Sharad Yadav declared that he also talk with Rashtriya Janta Dal chief Lalu Yadav and Lokjanshakti Party President Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan to join the bharat Bandh as they have given call of bandh on 10th July in protest against petroleum products price hike; and with Bahujan samaj party supremo Mayawati contact was not made, Mr Sharad Yadav also give new slogan against inflation, which is –
             " हिंदू ,मुस्लिम,सिख,ईसाई,सबके घर में है महंगाई "
so, today Monday is choose for bharat bandh which is first working day of week, but as call given by all the parties, its major sufferer will be private shopkeepers, businessmen and traders who have not interference in government policies but still grind with bandh and forcibly have to support bandh, but the responsible government will not effected by large with the call as its every department will function normally with full security.
        To raise objection, in a democracy, everybody have right but by force to make others part of your objection is not a democratic move, moreover when anybody don’t want to become part of it as they will have to bear the financial lose, plus by no mean bandh will solve the purpose except political parties, which will gain media headlines and bandh call for support of common people will ironically grind common people and private businessmen as both will lose their one day revenue.
       In today’s time, opposition parties to protest against government policies or scheme in old style by call of bandh is destructive as far business is concern and economy is concern, rather they should debate on a platform with government concerned minister defend their objection and make them speechless plus pass on their suggestion, so that it is implemented instead roaming in street making noises and closing down private business forcibly.

  1. With all of these problems, perhaps we should ask questions about the big picture...

    Do we need a Referendum For A New Democracy?

    Are you concerned about the future of democracy? Do you feel democracy is under attack by extreme greed in countries around the world? Are you sick and tired of: living in fear, corporate greed, growing police state, government for the rich, working more but having less?

    Can we use both elections and random selection (in the way we select government officials) to rid democracy of undue influence by extreme wealth and wealth-dominated mass media campaigns?

    The world's first democracy (Athenian democracy, 600 B.C.) used both elections and random selection. Even Aristotle (the cofounder of Western thought) promoted the use random selection as the best way to protect democracy. The idea of randomly selecting (after screening) juries remains from Athenian democracy, but not randomly selecting (after screening) government officials. Why is it used only for individual justice and not also for social justice? Who wins from that? ...the extremely wealthy?

    What is the best way to combine elections and random selection to protect democracy in today's world? Can we use elections as the way to screen candidates, and random selection as the way to do the final selection? Who wins from that? ...the people?
