Today we are going back to 6th October, 2013
A labourer in Tigri Colony received a bill of Rs. 15,000
Unable to pay this amount - his power supply was cut.
Angered by extortion and humiliation, @ArvindKejriwal launched the Bijli - Paani Satyagraha

#SabseSastiBijli
@ArvindKejriwal Months kept passing by - The Satyagraha gathered momentum.

@ArvindKejriwal decided to launch a Civil Disobedience Movement against these inflated bills.

He went on an indefinite hunger strike from a house in Sunder Nagri.
