Double Standard!

Regarding yesterday's(Sept 20) bandh Mamata Banerjee's double speak is really very confusing.She supports All India Bandh called by BJP as the issue is 'genuine' but vehemently opposes in the same breath 12-hour bandh called by CPM on the same issue in West Bengal .Isn't our state a part of India?She also lashed out at CPM for calling bandhs at the drop of a hat and advocated to take a move to make participation of public transport in bandh illegal.True, bandh as a democratic weapon loses its shine if frequently used.Bandh should be used as the last resort.It's also true bandh causes immense inconvenience to public and adversely affect the state financially.Nevertheless no political party would agree to part with their right to call a bandh.Nor did Mamata hesitate to convene a strike at the slightest pretext when in opposition.Perhaps she's learned from her mistakes the home truth that bandh does more harm than any good.Then why has she overwhelmingly supported BJP's bandh and went to the extent of congratulating people to make the bandh a success.It might have some other political connotation but she was not as hard in her stance in the present bandh as she was in 27th Feb bandh called by the Left unions.Is it so because the present bandh was in favour of her own demand too?.It rather supported her pull-out from union govt on the issue of FDI and diesel and LPG price hike.In reality Mamata Banerjee is maintaining double standard so far as bandh is concerned.
