It is absolutely ridiculous on the part of left parties to call for a bandh since the present government has their backing and is surviving on their support. Left are equally responsibile for all the omissions and commissions committed by this government. I do not know what left wants to prove.
Although I am not a supporter of congress, I wonder what Left would have done, if they were ruling the centre. The congressmen also claim that the price rise is inevitable. That has been the case when BJP was in power, but at that time the very congress also preferred to show their strength on the streets. It is better for the political parties to behave, whether ruling party or opposition. While the opposition should launch a scathing attack on the government for its all round failure, especially in controlling the prices of essential commodities, there is no point in attacking the government on oil prices which happened due to oil producing countries hiking the cost. It is not recommended for the government to subsidise anything.
