SOLVE CAUVERY DISTRESS, AVOID BANDH FATIGUE
The Morning Standard
|September 27, 2023
EACH time the Cauvery water dispute boils over and Karnataka perceives itself to be at the short end of the stick, there is an outpouring of anger with calls for a bandh by pro-Kannada politicians.
-
Tuesday's bandh in the state was one such. But the confusion over who supports it and who doesn't after cab and auto-rickshaw associations opted out left the common citizen in a dilemma. The response was lukewarm and may point to a sense of bandh fatigue in Bengaluru, which has to contend with another pan-Karnataka bandh on Friday. The two shutdowns are estimated to cost the state 4,000 crore, and come on the heels of a partial strike called a fortnight ago by transporters unhappy with the Congress government's Shakti scheme of giving free bus rides to women.
