BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bavankule on Wednesday announced a ''jail bharo'' (courting arrest) agitation on February 24 across Maharashtra to protest against the state government’s "refusal" to offer relief to electricity consumers.

Speaking to reporters, the former energy minister alleged that instead of giving any relief through bill waiver or concession to consumers, who are already hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Shiv Sena-led government is disconnecting power supply if bills are not paid.
