Victory 'partial', India Against Corruption not satisfied

NEW DELHI: Terming DERC's power tariff adjustments "nominal" and "cosmetic", Arvind Kejriwal-led India Against Corruption on Monday announced a door-to-door campaign for a complete rollback from November. Although it described the tariff announcement as a "partial victory of the people's agitation", IAC promised to keep up the pressure on the government.

The main opposition party, BJP, too, will hit the roads to intensify its agitation against the government on the issues of power tariff, inflation and corruption.

"People of Delhi have been fighting against the tariff hike. This tariff adjustment is a partial victory for them. The struggle will go on as part of the Bijli Satyagraha till the tariff is rolled back to the old rates," Kejriwal said.

"The tariff adjustment shows the government seems to have given in to the pressure of the people. But at the same time, it seems to be under more pressure from the discoms as the tariff adjustment is best described as nominal and cosmetic," Kejriwal said, adding members of the ward committees being constituted by the IAC will go door-to-door to inform people about tariff related issues.

IAC member Manish Sisodia said the DERC order was just a pacifier. "We want chief minister Sheila Dikshit to order a CAG audit into the power issue. Till the state seeks an audit, CAG cannot take up the matter."

Delhi BJP president Vijender Gupta said the adjustment in tariff is hardly a relief. "We have been protesting against the tariff hike and will now intensify the agitation. On Dussehra, we will burn effigies of power bills, inflation and corruption under the Congress-led governments at the Centre and the state. Our protests on power will continue till November 30."

Former union minister Vijay Goel alleged the CM was using DERC to mislead the people of Delhi. "The tariff adjustment is an eyewash and offers little relief to consumers across the board. The BJP has decided to step up protests, and RWAs and the people of Delhi will join hands to demand a rollback," Goel added.

Distancing herself from the tariff adjustment order, the chief minister said the tariff was decided by the DERC and not Delhi government. "It is always DERC which sets the tariff. Anyone can go to DERC and give their views. Even India Against Corruption could have gone to DERC," said Dikshit, reacting sharply to allegations by BJP and IAC that the state government was the key player in tariff fixation.

Refusing to comment on the contents of the order, she said, "We are still to see the order and will react only after thoroughly examining it. Let us see what DERC has said. The government will take action accordingly."
