Will Cut Dikshit's Power Supply: Kejriwal


New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS): Announcing the launch of his political party, Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday said he will disconnect the electricity supply of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit as part of a protest against the recent hike in power tariff.

"People should not pay electricity bills if government disconnects anyone's electricity, we will reconnect it. I am ready to go to jail. We will not just gherao (lay siege to) chief minister's (Sheila Dikshit) residence, but will disconnect her electricity," Kejriwal said.

He threatened to hold a protest here Thursday if the state government did not announce a rollback of the electricity tariff hike.

"They must roll back the hike before Nov 3, or we will protest again on Nov 4 and gherao Sheila Dikshit's house," Kejriwal said Tuesday.

He also said he would disclose corruption cases against some leading political figures Oct 6.

Kejriwal said both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were working in tandem. "They work in tandem, there is no opposition in the country. We are the opposition."

He said the name of his political party will be announced Nov 26.
