A dharna against power tariff hike outside the office of Delhi's power regulator today(October 8) was separately organised by two group-one led by BJP's Vijay Goel and another by Arvind Khejrival.
Goel invited Khejrival on his stage to protest together. Khejrival although accepted his invitation but started accusing BJP for not taking up the issue seriously.He accused BJP of not making public a DERC order which talked about reducing power tariff earlier.
Kejriwal alleged that BJP has a copy of the order but it was not making it public. "Like Congress, BJP is also suppressing facts," he alleged.
Quote:-their words
"We have nothing to do with BJP or Congress. On the one hand, Delhi government is hand in glove with discoms. On the other hand, we also have questions for BJP and we would like to ask Goel some questions.
"Is BJP not aware of the DERC recommendation in May, 2010 about reducing power tariff? Delhi government halted it. If they were aware of it, why did not they do it for the past one and half years," he asked
Goel replied that BJP had raised the issue first. Whoever will reduce the tariff, I will support them. Even if it is Congress, I will support the move. Whatever DERC has said, it was BJP who raised it first," he said.The BJP leader first left the venue and after sometime, Kejriwal also left the place, leaving IAC's protest to be led by his associates Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai.
