    When was the last time we had a bandh in Chennai?
    And why is this bandh on a Saturday?
    Most Offices have holiday by default. For full effect it should have been on a Monday! ;)

    It seems that sun tv has special programs and need to get more viewership on that day and that’s why this day has been chosen for bandh!!

    may**a P*dunginga…Thimuka is full of such tricks…SUNTV shud also shut down and show no programs on Bundh Day…lets see if they are ready to comply with Karunakoodhi’s bundh call…All to give reservation to grandchildren from the Ruling Family….

    The guy who can keep such sick names for his own kid(stalin)….can only come up with schemes that are as dirty as his mind….The scheming old Mugabe from Madras !!!!

    Are you guys supporting the bandh or opposing it? I for one did not support the bandh, it is a moral things reservation got nothing to do. Bandh affects to many people. So I was little happy to see the bandh on Saturday…

    Its a Supreme Court Verdict isnt it.Whats the bandh for now? Are they questioning the authority of the highest court in the land? This might not be a good idea and mught lead em to trouble…But its too late now to call it off and it will be a bandh day on 31st March as per TN Goverment.

    What would be the nett result; Roads are empy and VEdio Lenders shelf are also empty; Tasmak customers has to pay a bit more to get their usual quota and sleep at the platforms without any distubance and with less noise; Since it is Govt supported Bandh definitely successful.
