PATNA : The Left parties on Monday gave a call for a six-hour Bihar bandh on August 20, the day when CITU and other Left trade unions called a country-wide general strike.
The 10 am to 4 pm Bihar bandh was called to protest against 'unbearable' price rise, crisis in agriculture sector, 'rampant irregularities' in BPL lists, blackmarketing of ration and kerosene and waterlogging in the state capital, a CPI release said here.
Senior leaders of the CPI, CPI(M), RSP, Forward Bloc and Bharatiya Janvadi Forward Block met here this afternoon and appealed to the people to make the shut-down a success.
