Arvind Kejriwal to begin indefinite fast over rising power, water bills in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Aam Admi Party founder Arvind Kejriwal on Monday announced to sit on an indefinite fast later this month as part of his ongoing "civil disobedience movement" over rising electricity and water prices in Delhi.
"I will sit on an indefinite fast from March 23. I appeal to the people not to pay their electricity bills from March 23 onwards. I will not pay my electricity bill either," Kejriwal said at a press conference.
Alleging "match fixing" between Delhi government, private discoms and Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), he said: "The increase in water and electricity prices is nothing but corruption of the government."
The activist-turned-politician urged people to extend their support for his movement against "injustice."
