Politico Play

Shiv Saniks along with their few followers caused a major traffic jam on the Western Express Highway during the peak hours of June 8th, 2009’s evening in Vakola. This chaos swathe entire western express highway as to the protest by the Shiv Saniks against the alleged inflation of power bills by Reliance Infra increased. The troop first headed towards the Reliance Infrastructure Office in Vakola off the highway. Shiv Sena men were out to aid the general public but ended up wreaking damage on the same “Aam Adami’s” property and interest. I really never understand what these parties have in mind when they show their agitation against injustice done by some X entity on general public by damaging millions of rupee worth public property itself. Is it not an irony that you cause damage to the same people whom you say you are representing? What was achieved by causing traffic jams on the Express highway and burning trucks all over the city? Shiv Saniks could have put their point in a more civilized manner. Once again their intentions where correct but there modus operandi was all wrong. Is this kind of agitation justified? Are our politicos working for the Aam Aadmi or against them? Is this inflated show of tantrums just a gimmick to gain publicity? One thing is for sure, youth of today aren’t going to buy this nonsense as to be done for the betterment of us “The Aam Aadmi”.


Comments on the above by my colleague Saurabh Kulkarni – A person with Good insight on Political Theater.

Just for knowledge : The “Aam Aadmi “ term was coined by Congress and not Shiv-Sena …….

The primary reason for agitation is justified coz if u check the bills b4 reliance Infra had taken over with current bills the difference is clearly visible …
The Shiv-Sainiks are known for the violent protest which are sometimes justified coz the business class are very unfair one small time workers .. But the end result many-a-times is reverse of what is intended … The reason parties give is that U need LOUD NOISE since the Government and Business people turn a blind eye to silent protests …

In this case the protest seem to have turned hostile which makes me sad ….. That is d only reason I don’t support any of the political parties completely ….
But then to blame only Shiv-Sena will b unfair on your part …. All the issues are politically motivated … If u look in closely the reliance Infra is controlled by anil ambani who Is close to Samajwadi party …. In short all d political parties have their vote-bank and issues which they feel will increase it …..


As a citizen it’s our duty to discuss these matter with friends and family to get a opinion about all the current affairs …….. For this episode clearly I will blame Shiv-Sena which could have easily handled the issue with a peaceful protest …. Frankly speaking had it been a silent protest hardly anyone would have been aware of the issue …. But violence for any cause cannot b supported
