Opp Bharat Bandh July 5
The NDA and Left parties on Tuesday announced a 12-hour Bharat Bandh and nationwide strike on July 5 to protest against the recent hike in the petroleum products by the UPA government, while demanding a rollback of the hike. The parties have stated that the bandh from 6 am to 6 pm would be peaceful and rail and road traffic would not be disturbed.
Though both the NDA and Left parties have called the bandh on the same day and against the same issue, they would not be sharing the platform.
The JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav on Tuesday stated that all the major Opposition parties have come together on the issue, which is the first instance after the “JP movement in the 1970s”.
“I have got confirmation from a host of leaders for the Bharat Bandh on July 5. I have spoken to CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat, BJP chief Nitin Gadkari, A.B. Bardhan of the CPI, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, AIDMK chief J. Jaylalitha, JD(S) chief H.D. Deve Gowda, LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, INLD chief Om Prakash Choutala, Punjab chief minister Prakash Badal, Orissa chief minister Navin Patnaik, TDP chief N. Chandra Babu Naidu. All these leaders have consented to join the Bharat Bandh on July 5,” Mr Yadav told reporters.
However, the Left parties made a separate announcements in this regard. BJP chief Nitin Gadkari also gave a call for bharat bandh asking political outfits to join the bandh.
“In order to protest against this unjustified hike in petroleum prices and the total ineptitude of UPA government to address this problem, BJP president Nitin Gadkari has given a call for a Bharat Bandh on July 5,” BJP national spokesperson, Mr Tarun Vijay said.
The NDA’s call for a 12-hour “Bharat Bandh” came hours after the Left and non-BJP Opposition parties called a 12-hour nationwide strike on July 5.

What was wrong with the price

What was wrong with the price hike? It was bound to happen as having a flexible oil pricing in the future will help our economy. I am not saying Congress government is excellent, but opposition comes up with such silly reasons for bandhs! BJP has no reason to call a bandh. Let them sit with the ruling party to come up with good economic reasoning instead of stopping a day's work.

Hi Aditya i do agree with you say ( Let the opposition sit with the ruling party to come up with good economic reasoning instead of stopping a day's work)
But dont you feel the prices are to high for the poor man. they may me not buying a petrol, diesel etc., but they have to travel by bus, auto rickshaw where the prices are to high for them in their everydays life.
What will they earn and what they will save from it for their better future...

I do agree with the fashion this issue is shaping into. There has be some stern steps taken in order to make the govt realize. how drastic it is for the middle-class people to have even a rupee incremented for an item. And to have done a hike as high as Rs 4, is unbelievable. Not only political parties but corporates, schools, colleges should come forward and support this.
Bharat bandh is not solution

Bharat bandh is not solution for the same. Cause at some places possibilities of casuality is likely to happen due to mob. Also it will impact a lot to the financial revenues too. People will also get impacted who needs urgent medication. I know they don't stop ambulance or any other urgent service vehicle, but the person who would be driving this vehicle how he is going to report to his duty. Instead all should keep sending emails and letters to govt so that they feel ashamed of the same.
Yes I do support the bandh. I

Yes I do support the bandh. I do understand the government will be burdened but common man also cannot be taxed for nothing. I will suggest to government to make biofuels and its vehicles cheaper so that we can reduce the burden on non-replenisible fuels such as petrol and diesel.
I support Bharat bandh. I

It is a right way to show our feelings against price hike or any major hike in pricing of the products infront of our govt. If we will not use personel vehicles, public transport & other local transport which will effect the revenue of the government. I fully support the bandh.
