Fail the LDF government in the coming assembly elections
Today (27 April 2010) the Nation wide Harthal called by left parties is observed across India. Price hike is the reason for this Harthal. For the week ended April 10 the food inflation in this country is at 17.65 percent. Which indeed is a big figure. But observing a Harthal is not a solution. It is another problem.
As always the intensity of today’s Harthal is concentrated only in Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura. Left parties say that they are with the people. But in reality they are against us. We have seen in the last Lok Sabha elections that left parties are loosing their grip in almost all their key areas. In Bengal Mamatha is uprooting them whereas in Kerala congress has emerged winners.
As they say past is past. We can think about present. The LDF government in Kerala is going to complete it’s term next year. Which means they have only less than 365 days left to rule us. History always favored change in Kerala. So as a practice next time UDF will be in power. I have an ambition. It has been a long time that these fronts are ruling us. Nothing better happened. There should be a party to address the common man in this state.
Take today’s Harthal as an example. I get in in the train from Angamaly. I was in Guruvayur-Ernakulam passenger. Until Kalamassery the journey was smooth. When the train started from Kalamassery Harthal supporters came all of a sudden. They sat in front of the train. One Sub-Inspector and two constables came. I asked them whether arrest will take place. He told me that it will take 2 hours. There were only 10-15 Harthal supporters there. About 200-500 passengers were there. Who is at the dead end, the common man. The policeman advised me to go to the road. Two wheelers are going there. Ask for some lift- he said in a pious manner!!!
Today’s Harthal reflected much on rail. Harthal supporters protested at almost all major railway stations. ‘Rail Harthal’ observed across the state with much enthusiasm. This anti people Harthal shows that the mind set of left parties. They behave that they are with the common man. But it is a lie they are against us. Today KSRTC buses also participated in the Harthal. Which means state has taken away one of our fundamental right-the right to live.
I protest against it. And in the coming assembly elections we, the people of this state should fail left parties. But more importantly a party or movement for the common man should be created. Since there is no political party in this country is with the common man. They are with the wealthy and corporates.

Damn with this Harthal, Fail the LDF in the coming elections.
