Agitated with the rising prices of electricity, the residents of East Delhi came together under Bijli Andolan to fight against it. The andolan has been started under the leadership of Vijay Goel, former DUSU president and BJP leader. "The Bijli Andolan is a way to raise voice against the rising injustice. We should stand united and force the government to reduce prices of electricity," said Geeta Mehra, a resident present in andolan.
"I congratulate the team of East Delhi RWAs Joint Front, for holding the first meeting of Bijli Andolan successfully. For any welfare organisation, citizens' interest should be first and foremost," said Ranju Minhas, founder-cum-executive director at Shield-Citizen's Initiative (NGO) and a social worker.
"Price rise has troubled us a lot and we may get some respite through this andolan. The authorities should listen to our demands and do something to solve our problems," said Deepak Tiwari, another resident.
B S Vohra, president, East Delhi RWAs Joint Front said, "We will fight against the rising prices as much as we can. This andolan is totally politics-free and we hope that this will be successful."
