Vinod Binny saysAAP deviating from principles, defrauding people:
NEW DELHI: Soon after a fresh rebellion by Vinod Kumar Binny in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), it was reported on Wednesday that national parties are trying to woo the AAP MLA into joining them. "A national party is looking to rope in Vinod Binny and may offer him a Lok Sabha ticket," reported Times Now.
However, earlier in the day, Binny denied any intention of leaving the party. "I am an honest foot soldier of AAP. It's not anyone's personal party. There is no question of leaving AAP," he said.
Reacting to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's claim that he had asked for a Lok Sabha ticket, Binny said, "If Arvind bhai has said this then its unfortunate, then no one is a bigger liar than him. There was no talk of LS tickets." As Per 'economictimes'
The MLA, a former Congressman, said forming the government by taking support of Congress was a "compromise of the party's principles".
"We had announced publicly that we wouldn't give or take support of any political party. Then what prompted the party to change the decision. Discussions were held behind closed doors on the issue," he said.
Binny had publicly displayed his unhappiness after he was left out of the Cabinet in December.
Rubbishing the MLA's criticism, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had on Wednesday said that Binny had come to him for chief ministership and later he wanted to contest the LS Polls.
The MLA termed as "complete lie" Kejriwal's statement that he was seeking a Lok Sabha ticket.
He announced that he will go on a hunger strike if the party fails to fulfil its promises by January 27.
"I am an honest soldier of this party. I will not leave the party," he said.
On the electricity front, Binny said that the government "defrauded" the people of Delhi as the party had promised to halve the bills after coming to power.
"The government said subsidy will be given to those whose monthly consumption does not exceed 400 units. This is totally unacceptable," Binny told a press conference here. Terming his criticism of the government and the party as a "fight for the truth", Binny said AAP was not formed to grab power or make anybody the chief minister.
"The party has misled the people of Delhi on a number of issues. There is a big mismatch between what the party promised and what the government is doing," he said.
Binny also attacked the AAP leadership for failing to bring the Jan Lokpal Bill within 14 days of coming to power as promised.
"AAP came into power on December 28. Today, it has been 19 days," he said.
The MLA also came down hard on the ministers of the Delhi government who have taken "big cars" bearing "fancy registration" numbers, saying it was against the party's principles.
He also trained his guns on Kejriwal saying he was forced to not move to a sprawling flat following criticism by the people.
"He would definitely have moved to the flat if there was no opposition to it by the people," he said. "Times of India"
