This is now an anti poor people's movement not a people's movement

I still cannot understand this continuing strategy of targetting and inconveniencing people in the name of an agitation.  This is sheer idiocy.  Crippling road transport, rail transport, rasta roko are all anti poor.  They are the ones who use State Transport buses to go to various parts of the city or to travel to other places.  With no bus services these people are worst hit.  The most shameless and barefaced of the lot or the doctors striking work.  Only emergency services will be attended to.  So the poor have to wait for their illness to become an emergency before they can get the doctors to attend on them.  I keep saying poor people, because the rich can go to private hospitals, they can travel by their own vehicles and if the destinations are far they can use air transport.  Shamefully a university teacher threatens schools and asks them to close down and yet again the first hit are the government schools where again the poor send their children to.  Pensioners are worried that they may not get their pensions on time.  Not all pensioners are rich. Many of them need their pension on the first of the month to pay their grocery bills and medical bills.  It is sickening to see 5 year old and 10 year old children being made to carry Telangana flags.  Instilling hatred from a tender age to ensure that the future generations will also fight the same filthy battles based in caste, religion, region and any other putrid rubbish that one can think of.  There is no sign of governance anywhere.  Traffic police simply turning a blind eye to people driving on the wrong side of the road, without lights....the list can go on.  Shame on the agitators and shame on the government at the centre and the state.  Using common people to settle political scores and to play games of one up man ship.  I had decided not to blog about this nonsense but each time patience is tested.  A good professor says we know how to make up for lost time.  I too know.  Give marks for anything written or unwritten.  These degree holders only need to go out into the world to know that their degrees have no value.  Maybe they already know that. This has nothing to do with people.  These are games that politicians play.  They simply use the shoulders of the people to fire guns at each other.
