Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot said on Wednesday that the Centre should take cognisance of the nationwide strike called by labour unions, saying every section of the country was dissatisfied due to a communication gap.
"You (Centre) will not communicate, you will not explain, you will not try to understand people, then what is the meaning of democracy?" Pilot asked. "Winning an election does not mean that you have become supreme. We should keep our hearts, minds and ears open, and listen to people."
"Lack of communication has created such an atmosphere that people are angry, suffering and also feel suffocated," he said. "I think that today's strike is also the result that the government has not done any work to listen to anyone."
