Vinod Binny live: Will his ‘revelations’ irrevocably damage AAP?

9.45 am:  What is Vinod Binny going to say today?

For a two-year-old party tasting immense power for the first time, the AAP has managed to keep its flock together well for the time being. No MLA deflected post the elections even when the party had declared they it would not form the government. However, like any other political organisation fraught with many personal ambitions as collective aspirations, this party too has its share of differences and they have started to show up, a bit too prematurely and way too publicly.

MLA Vinod Binny kicked up a storm when he allegedly rebelled at being denied a berth in AAP's cabinet in the past. Both the party and Binny had then come out and told the media that there was no such problem within the party.

But on Wednesday, Binny lashed out at the government in Delhi saying that it has failed to deliver on its promises to the electorate of Delhi. "The government is not fulfilling the promises we made to the people," Binny told ANI today. I feel party is drifting away from the issues on the basis of which the party came to power, he said. "Tomorrow in a press conference I will disclose more details and if need be will sit on a hunger strike", he added.

Binny is a former Congress party leader who had quit the party in 2011 and later joined the AAP. He had also won elections twice before as an independent MLA and in 2013 won in the Laxmi Nagar seat.

After party MLA Vinod Kumar Binny accused the Aam Aadmi Party of failing to live up to its promises, party leader Arvind Kejriwal hinted that the party MLA's outburst may be linked to being denied a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Binny in turn has called the AAP chief a liar. "First he had come to me seeking a ministerial post, and we rejected the demand."

"After that he said 'I will contest the Lok Sabha elections'. He had come to my house to seek a Lok Sabha ticket. The party has decided that no sitting MLA will get a ticket for the Lok Sabha elections," Kejriwal told reporters today.

The Delhi Chief Minister added that there was a meeting of all 70 candidates who contested the Delhi polls but the MLA did not raise a single point in the meeting.

"I do not know what his intentions are and I do not even want to get into them. We are the most sensitive government towards resolving issues. We welcome criticism, be it from the public, media or BJP," he said.
