Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva was detained by the police today during a protest against the Delhi government’s recent hike in power prices. The protest, led by Sachdeva along with party workers and leaders, aimed to voice opposition to the increased electricity tariffs in the national capital.
The demonstration, which took place in a prominent location in Delhi, saw BJP leaders and workers gathering to express their discontent. The protesters criticized the Delhi government’s decision, arguing that the hike in power prices would burden residents already grappling with economic challenges.
Sachdeva, addressing the gathered crowd, condemned the government’s move as unjust and detrimental to the interests of Delhiites. He emphasized the BJP’s commitment to advocating for the rights of citizens and ensuring fair governance.
