Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president Harsh Vardhan on Wednesday wrote to Reliance Energy chairman Anil Ambani asking him to withdraw the 10 per cent power tariff hike in the Capital failing which the party would be forced to launch an agitation.

He also warned that the BJP would not allow the Ambani-owned discom BSES to disconnect power of those consumers who have paid their bills after deducting 10 per cent from the total amount.

Addressing a press conference here, Dr. Vardhan said the party would also gherao the employees and officials of BSES who would come to disconnect the power connections of such consumers.

In his letter to Mr. Ambani, the BJP leader has alleged that the two power distribution companies, BSES Yamuna Power Limited and BSES Rajdhani Limited, supplying power to more than two-thirds of Delhi are looting the consumers. Fast running meters are being installed forcibly.
