The Left Front and the Bharatiya Janata Party have joined hands to call for a nationwide 12-hour strike on Monday to protest the astronomical rise in prices of essential commodities and fuel.
Life has come to a standstill in BJP-ruled states like Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka and Left-ruled states like Bengal and Kerala. In states ruled by the Congress and its allies, like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, normal life has been severely affected by the bandh.
Do you think such a 'Bharat bandh' helps the common man and achieves the objective of lodging a strong protest against price rise?
