Call for Bihar Bandh an Exercise in Futility; Says Tiwari
Patna: January 23, 2008
Janata Dal – U national spokesperson Shivanand Tiwari in Patna on Wednesday ridiculed the January 25 statewide bandh called by all opposition parties saying the move was laughable particularly in view of the fact that the people of Kahalgaon had already withdrawn their stir over power issue in their region.
"Protesting against the Nitish government over power issue is not going to solve the problem in the state. Instead, they should be raising ruckus against the Central government that is solely responsible for the pathetic power situation in Bihar," said the JD-U leader.
Tiwari further said that the opposition parties were itching to bring down the legitimately-elected NDA government in Bihar and the whole idea behind the January 25 bandh was to paralyze normal functioning of the state for purely political reasons.
