The BJP on Monday held demonstrations at nearly 2,000 places across Maharashtra to protest against ‘inflated’ electricity bills. Party activists assembled in 36 districts to hold demonstrations and burn electricity bills.

Thousands of party workers assembled at the venues to participate in the day-long protest. The agitation was led by state party president Chandrakant Patil at Karad, general secretary and former power minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule at Nagpur and Mumbai BJP chief Mangal Prabhat Lodha in Mumbai. Party general secretary Devyani Farande led the protest in Nashik. Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Praveen Darekar staged demonstrations at Parbhani.
