Aam Aadmi Party MLA Vinod Kumar Binny has charged the party with deviating from its poll promises and principles. He accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government of not delivering what it had promised on several issues including 50 per cent reduction in power tariff.
Addressing a press conference this morning, Mr Binny said there is difference in what AAP says and does. He denied allegations that he is greedy for power.
Referring to the alleged recent gangrape of a 51-year-old Danish tourist at knife-point near New Delhi railway station, Mr Binny said, the party should be ashamed of it. He said, there is no statement on women security from the new establishment so far.
Reacting sharply to allegations of Mr Binny, AAP leader, Yogendra Yadav said, the party is surprised and sad after hearing the charges levelled by him. Speaking to reporters this afternoon, he said, Political Affairs Committee of the party will decide whether to issue a show cause notice to Mr Binny and take disciplinary action against him. He said, there were many party forums where he could have aired his grievances.
Mr Yadav said, the party has fulfilled its promises like reduction in power tariff and free water supply to households consuming 20 kilo litres water per month. Mr Yadav alleged that Mr Binny's speech seems to be prompted by the BJP.
Mr Binny said that he will sit on an indefinite fast from 27th of this month if Mr Kejriwal does not fulfill promises made to the people of the city. He also denied speculations that he will leave the party and join either BJP or Congress.
Taking a dig at the AAP, Lakshmi Nagar MLA alleged that there is corruption in ticket distribution for upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
