$ 0 0 Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Nirupam on Thursday began an indefinite hungerstrike over a demand for a reduction in power tariff in Mumbai. Nirupam and his followers are holding a protest outside the office of the Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Energy, stating that Reliance Energy is accountable to the people of the city who are reeling under the high power tariff. "Reliance supplies electricity to a majority of people here. Today, if people in Mumbai are suffering due to the power tariff, Reliance is also answerable for that. That is why, we are protesting outside the Reliance office," he told media here today. 'We asked Reliance to take back a few surcharges included in the electricity bill because it is absolutely useless. We told them this was a justified demand, and if they agree, then we will not protest. This protest will continue till Anil Ambani removes the three types of surcharges from the bill," he added. Recalling his letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan for demanding a reduction in power tariff, Nirupam said the state government had agreed to look into the matter in its next cabinet session.
