AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal protests against price rise at Jantar Mantar
  • 5 years ago
AAP leaders: For the first time after the split from Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal led around 300 activists in a protest against hike in power tariffs, alleging that the Delhi government and private discoms were out to loot people. The activists gathered at Jantar Mantar and shouted slogans against Congress-led Delhi government and private discoms. Besides Kejriwal, other prominent activists who attended the protest were Prashant Bhushan, Manish Sisodia, Kumar Vishwas and Sanjay Singh. Hazare and his supporters, including Kiran Bedi, parted ways with the Kejriwal-led group on September 19 over the anti-graft movement taking a plunge into politics. The protest, which is seen as a prelude to its entry into politics formally, demonstrated keenness of the Kejriwal-led group to fight Delhi Assembly elections slated next year as it targeted the Sheila Dikshit-led Congress government in the capital.
