"The price of electricity and water has been increased in Delhi only because of the corruption. The government was repeatedly told to do something in this regard, but it is grossed deep in corruption," said Kejrival

"The increase in the tariffs of electricity and water was due to corruption and the documents have already been presented in the public domain. Sheila Dikshit has nexus with electricity and water companies and it has been proved earlier also in front of the public," alleged  Kejriwal.

"Now the problem is that, Dikshit is claiming that the companies have incurred loss of rupees 20,000 crores within two years and this entire loss is a hoax," he added.

 "The aim of my fast is to rally more and more people against the illegal bills. If I fast, then people will get encouraged. This time we are not asking anything from the government, this time I appeal to Delhiites not to pay bills," he said.
