There was a bandh and vandalism

BJP - the party famous for its vandalism, religious fundamentalism and lack of reason, had called a bandh on the 30th of November. Since it was BJP, clearly the most powerless party in the state, none of us were prepared for so much as a stir on the streets. But what awaited us was something far from our expectations. The cadres of the party let hell loose on Kolkata and its suburbs. Train service was delayed - stalled actually, for a few hours, buses were set ablaze, car windscreens smashed, student pool cars held up and office goers harassed to name a few.

Now, the question that is eating me up (and others I’m sure) is that, if the BJP is one of the smallest parties in the state, where from did they get all these cadres? Did the import them from UP or Rajasthan? That seems unlikely. Because, those that were seen smashing car windows or burning buses on TV, all spoke Bengali. You might ask, what is the mystery then? Was it then some party political party of Bengal in odds with the UPA Govt. who helped them with all these cadres? Well, some people are taking names they are always taking nowadays. You know….but they are all ungrateful idiots. I am not going to take any names though, you do the guess work.

    I dont know if you know this..they get cadres because they rent them out.
    Me from Kerala has seen such actions before.

    They give 200 RS/person who is willing to attend their function. Media has exposed it many times. But well.. errr..politics it is + money. For some people, this Harthal and Bandhs is a way to earn some quick bucks.
    I hope The political party have some Menu kind of things

    1)Burning Bus: 1500 Rs
    2)Breaking glasses: 500 Rs.

    Who knows..But well one thing I am sure of is that..they get people because they offer money to the unemployed.

    {PS: Kolkata and Kerala has Communists in common, other than global warming.}
