The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday extended support to the UT Powermen Union and took part in a protest against the Chandigarh administration’s move to privatise the electricity department.
Seven AAP councillors and around 100 party workers, led by state unit chief Prem Garg, participated in the union’s dharna in Sector 17.
“The party and all its 14 councillors are with the union in its protest against the BJP government’s decision. We also support the call of strike,” Garg said.
The union is going on a three-day strike starting February 21.
