New Delhi:
Vinod Kumar Binny, an Aam Aadmi Party legislator, has accused the party of backtracking on its promises.
Below are the highlights of his press conference:
Below are the highlights of his press conference:
- It's a fight for the truth
- AAP wasn't formed to make anybody an MP, MLA or Chief Minister
- The Aam Aadmi Party has broken the promises which it made to the people before election
- Difference between the promises that were made and promises that are being delivered
- For e.g. water. Up to 700 liters of free water was promised. However, after elections, the government said whoever exceeds the limit, will have to pay entire amount
- AAP's poll promise on water was a clever play of words
- Second issue was power tariff. The manifesto clearly said power tariff will be cut by 50 per cent.
- 10 lakh, 52 thousand people followed Arvind's disobedience and did not pay their bills. They were promised bills would be waived off. That has not happened.
- I recommend a referendum from Delhities on the water and electricity issue. Ask people if they feel AAP has fulfilled promises.
- On Jan Lokpal: AAP came into power on December 28. Today it has been 19 days. According to their promise, the law should have been executed.
- It is shameful that it's being said I'm demanding a Lok Sabha ticket. My name was used to mislead people of Delhi
- He who lied should resign from his position - Be it Arvind Kejriwal or I
- On Danish woman's alleged gang-rape case: If any other government was in power, AAP would have protested. You should be ashamed. You said you would make a commando force, you haven't even started discussing it.
- We had told people we wouldn't take or give support to any political party but discussions were held behind closed doors
- If you have evidence, why aren't you doing anything against the corrupt? If you don't have evidence, how did you make these claims earlier?
- Sources tell me, and I know it myself - Sandeep Dikshit is close to Kejriwal
- Congress is guiding decisions that are being taken by AAP
- Earlier, AAP ministers had said they wouldn't use red beacon cars. All ministers are using cars with VIP numbers
- Immense corruption in distributing tickets, (not money wise) - people's rights were taken away and given to other people
- I never wanted to contest elections. Arvind called me home and asked me to contest elections and said you will fight from Laxminagar
- It has all been decided - who will contest from where. Why this drama of gathering a thousand signatures and saying that the decision will only be taken thereafter?
- 4-5 people of the party take all the decisions, Arvind gets angry if people don't agree with him. The party is not democratic
- People like Ashutosh say no place for opportunistic people. I say HE is opportunistic, you joined when the party was already in power.
- I will go on hunger strike on January 27 if party doesn't fulfill its promises
- I asked for time with Arvind, I was told, go sit with him in the car after the meeting. What is this attitude?
- Congress guiding AAP decisions
- Sanjay Singh, Kumar Vishwas, Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal are old friends. They are being dramatic like they're in a film.
- I am an honest soldier of this party. I will remain in the party as I have worked very hard for the party
- If people say that the issues I have raised are false, I will resign from the MLA post
- No one from BJP, Congress has spoken to me
- No way am I going to resign, whenever party deviates from ideology, I will oppose
