Shares of select power companies rose after Arvind Kejriwal resigned as chief minister of Delhi on Friday, 14 February 2014, as the Jan Lokpal Bill was not allowed to be tabled in the assembly amid strong protests from Congress and BJP.
Arvind Kejriwal was elected in part on a promise of lowering electricity tariffs for millions of Delhi's voters and in December 2013 had asked the state auditor to look into the accounts of power distribution companies to see if they were profiteering.
The Delhi government had asked the region's power regulator to revoke the licences of two electricity distributors if they fail to supply power, drawing criticism from the companies.
