Police on Monday stopped activists led by Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party from marching to Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's residence to deliver around eight lakh letters they claimed to have collected from Delhiites who have decided not to pay electricity bills.
The activists were stopped on Bhairon Road near Pragati Maidan this afternoon. The traffic near Pragati Maidan was also affected due to the protest.
Police told them that a small delegation will be allowed to meet Dikshit. AAP leader Manish Sisodia said that the delegation would consist of 272 people from 272 wards of Delhi.
Vote out the corrupt: Hazare
"Corrupt" politicians will never allow the Lokpal Bill to be passed in Parliament, anti-graft activist Anna Hazare said in Jalandhar, Punjab, today while urging people to elect representatives with clean image in next Lok Sabha polls. His Janatantra Yatra reached Jalandhar last evening.
