Don't these fools understand only the professional are on strike and not the boot lickers of government.

Obviously, these 2 banks have erased the loans taken by politicians and are recovering the damages by increasing loan interest from poor people. Absolute cowardice!

These are all bankrupt political hench-aiya banks. They cannot send even and LC for US$ 10 out of the country and no international bank will recognize them.

Operational does not mean that customers had the normal service in all their Banking needs

Can we reduce the number of branches? Seems to be too many branches? Why cant we go for online systems? Pathetic
