AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal continues fast

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal’s indefinite hunger strike against increased electricity and water bills in Delhi has continued and it enters on 9th day today. Kejriwal has begun his ‘civil disobedience movement’ on March 23 in New Delhi.  

On Friday his mentor and anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare visited and requested him to end his fast. “I told him (Kejriwal) we should not kill ourselves. These fasts are bringing awareness among people. People in the whole country have awakened now. In future, we will continue to tolerate till we can and then break the fast and once we regain health we should again stand up to fight. This is not a four-day battle. But a very long war,” Hazare told AAP supporters.

Meanwhile Aam Aadmi Party claimed that over five lakh people have signed the pledge to not pay “inflated” electricity and water bills in Delhi.

“I’m feeling a bit weak but am fine,” AAP leader Kejriwal assured supporters.
