Kejriwal to burn electricity bills today

Social activist and India Against Corruption (IAC) leader Arvind Kejriwal will continue with his protests against “inflated” power bills on Sunday by burning electricity bills at four locations in the city.

On Saturday, Kejriwal launched a ‘bijli-paani satyagraha’ by restoring electricity connection to the household of a labourer which was disconnected for non-payment of bills.

The protest was launched at Tigri Colony where Kejriwal and his supporters restored the power connection of the labourer, who claimed that he got a bill for Rs 15,000 last month and connection disconnected as he could not pay it.

“The Delhi government must roll back the hike before November three or we will protest again on November 4 and gherao Sheila Dikshit’s house. We challenge them to try to cut the electricity of anyone in Delhi,” Kejriwal said.
