Anti-corruption social activist Kejriwal launches civil disobedience movement against government | | Social activist and India Against Corruption (IAC) member Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday announced the launch of civil disobedience movement against the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre. Speaking to reporters at Jantar Mantar here, Kejriwal dubbed the Central government as 'corrupt' and
denounced its recently proclaimed economic reforms. “From today we have launched
a civil disobedience movement in Delhi . People are suffering because of inflation,
rising fuel water and electricity costs. The government is doing so because of
its corrupt nature. We are calling upon residents of Delhi to not pay their electricity
bills. The day everyone in Delhi stops paying such inflated bills, the government
will be forced to bow down before the common man,” he said. Kejriwal, along with
erstwhile Team Anna aides Manish Sisodia and Kumar Vishwas were protesting against
the recent hike in diesel prices and cap imposed on the subsidised LPG cylinders
to be issued to BPL households. This was Kejriwal’s first public protest after
parting ways with anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare. The government raised the price
of heavily subsidised diesel on Thursday (September 13) to rein in its fiscal
deficit.
