In order to ensure that yesterday's bandh called by BJP, Shiv Sena and Republican Party of India (A) becomes a hit, protestors went on a rampage, vandalising 106 BEST buses in which a couple of drivers and a conductor sustained injuries. Ironically, not only the BEST committee chairperson but also most of its members belong to Shiv Sena and BJP.
“Why didn’t they save their own property? This (damaging buses) indicated that even though the buses are public property and in spite of the recent fare hike, they don’t mind damaging them. Why didn’t they instruct their men not to damage the buses? I was in one of the buses, when the protestors started pelting stones at the vehicle in Andheri. This forced me to go back home,” said a disgruntled Ramchandra More, regular bus passenger to Kandivli.
