New Delhi, April 6: Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal Saturday ended his 15-day-long fast with a spirited attack on the Sheila Dikshit-led Delhi government for its "inability" to provide power and water - which he identified as key issues for the forthcoming polls.




Breaking the fast in protest against the allegedly inflated power bills, amid loud cheers from his supporters, Kejriwal said that the Dikshit government has no right to rule after it could not make water and electricity available for people.

Kejriwal claimed that the days of Dikshit are numbered and warned her to wait till November - the month when assembly elections are scheduled.

"I am grateful to all those who participated in the movement. After my fast, one thing is certain that assembly election in Delhi will be fought on the issue of power and water," said Kejriwal, who was given coconut water by a girl called Neeru.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief, who was on a hunger strike since March 23 against the allegedly inflated water and power bills, accused Dikshit of being in cahoots with power discoms and industrialists and warned this state of affairs would not last long.

"Politics will not be dictated by industrialists anymore," he said.
