New Delhi, July 21 (UNI) A large number of BJP workers along with Delhi state president Harshvardhan were arrested this afternoon at ITO in Central Delhi while they were on their way to the Delhi Secretariat to 'gherao' the Chief Minister over the power distribution scam.

The workers and Dr Harshvardhan, on their way to the Central Secretariat, were later let off after a token 'arrest' by the police, sources said.

The arrests were made after the protestors, who started from Ferozshah Kotla grounds carrying placards and shouting anti-government slogans, reached ITO crossing sources added.

A BJP spokesman here said the demonstration was to seek Shiela Dikshit's resignation over the power distribution scam in which the Congress government had been indicted by the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committee.

''We had planned to 'gherao' the Chief Minister and seek her resignation on the issue.'' Unless the Chief Minister resigns, protests all over Delhi would continue by various district organisations of the party, he added.
