Now, let's grant that the UPA is anti-people. But is throwing the lives of the common man out of gear pro-people? An ordinary householder had to pray double for his auto ride to office, and was still hours late, thanks to the dharnas by the strikers at crowded places Vegetables and fuel went scarce, whatever the price! And incidentally, the comrades were also claiming to be protesting inflation! Union leaders, the movers and shakers, who don't stir even if the country is on fire, on normal days. They head several outfits with high sounding acronyms that seem like an eye doctor's reading board but the only sound you hear from them is the frequent call for strikes and strident threats of more strikes.
