Was Komal responsible for hastening the demise of the sugar industry by encouraging the industry strikes?

At the end of the day the sugar industry collapsed because of dwindling market demand worldwide.  It's more of an economic issue than a political issue.  Both parties sought political mileage out of the economic problem.  

I do believe Komal had the best interest of the sugar workers at heart and with limited solutions to prices and labor issues he used strikes as a solution.  It didn't work in the long term but didn't hasten the demise of the sugar industry.
