Vinod Binny slams Delhi govt, says AAP has betrayed trust of people

NEW DELHI: Vinod Kumar Binny, an Aam Aadmi Party MLA, has accused his party's newly formed government of "cheating" the people of Delhi.
AAP is deviating from its principles. The formation of government by taking support of Congress is against principles, Binny said on Thursday.
The party has not kept any of the promises made to the people of Delhi, including those over water and power bills, Binny said while addressing a press conference in Delhi.
"Arvind Kejriwal-led government said something and is doing something else,” Binny claimed and threatened to go on a hunger strike from January 27.
Binny, who defeated Congress bigwig AK Walia in the elections, had earlier threatened an agitation when he was not made a minister. The former Congress worker has now accused AAP of not delivering on its promises.
"I came to the AAP when it had nothing. They had nothing to give me. In fact, I have given them so much," Binny said.
"The people are still suffering from various problems. AAP ministers just summon media people, take photographs, go home and sleep," Binny alleged.
AAP has 28 seats in a 70-seat assembly and enjoys outside support of eight Congress MLAs, one independent and a JD(U) MLA, taking its total tally to 38. This is two more than the minimum required by a party for government formation. Sources said that if Binny was to be expelled, the party would still have the required numbers.
Binny, a two-time councillor, was presumed to be a frontrunner for a cabinet berth due to his political experience. But when the announcement was made on December 24 last year, his absence raised several questions.
