New Delhi: Delhi Government on Saturday indicated taking legal action against Arvind Kejriwal for "illegally" restoring electricity connection of a consumer during protest against "inflated" power and water bills and accused him of trying to spread "anarchy" and "lawlessness" in the city.

Slamming Kejriwal for "breaching" the law and asking people not to pay electricity bills, Delhi Power Minister Harun Yusuf said legal action must be taken against him.

"Kejriwal is trying to spread anarchy and lawlessness in the city. He does not believe in law and order. We will not allow him to succeed. Legal action must be taken against Kejriwal for his illegal act and instigating people to do so," Yusuf said.

Kejriwal launched his protest at Tigri Colony in South Delhi by restoring the power connection of the labourer, who claimed that he got a bill for Rs 15,000 last month and connection disconnected as he could not pay it.

He said the India Against Corruption will hold a dharna tomorrow and burn electricity bills in 114 municipal wards.

It shows how frustrated the Congress is. Ever since AK taken head-on Robert Vadra for his corrupt practices, the Central and State Congress Ministers forgetting that they are the Central or State Ministers are busy in pleasing the Gandhi Dynasty some way or the other. Nothing else but a bunch of Sycophants. The Delhi Government hand in gloves with Reliance Energy (Reliance known for shunning Ethics for corrupt business practices) have fleeced the consumers with unreasonable hike in power tariff, inflated bills to the consumer and now wants to take legal action against Arvind Kejriwal for restoring the power connection of a poor labour who can not afford to pay a bill of Rs.15000. Instead of challenging Kejriwal the Delhi Government should have questioned and taken action against BRPL for the inflated bill. This should have added some grace to the ever falling image of Congress.
