Rebel AAP MLA Vinod Binny threatens to go on indefinite fast if Kejriwal govt fails to fulfil its poll promise

New Delhi: Vinod Kumar Binny, the AAP MLA from Lakshmi Nagar, has threatened to go on indefinite fast from January 27 if the Kejriwal led Delhi govt fails to fulfill the promises it made in

Binny said though the party during the election campaign had promised to provide 700 litres of free water to each household, the government "very cleverly" announced that those exceeding the limit will have to pay for the full amount.

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. The party has cheated the people of Delhi," he said.

The MLA said he will go on a strike if the promises made to people during the election campaign are not fulfilled by January 27.

He also attacked the Ministers of the Delhi government, maintaining though they had said they wouldn't use red beacon cars, they have all taken big cars with VIP registration numbers.

Referring to the alleged gangrape of a Danish woman, he said had another party been in power, then AAP would have held massive protests in the city to target the government of the day.

"What have they done to protect the women in Delhi?" he asked.

"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," Binny said, attacking AAP for forming the government with Congress backing.
