Binny to Withdraw Support to Delhi Government

On January 26, Binny was expelled from the party for "indiscipline" 10 days after he had called Kejriwal a "dictator" and accused the party of "betraying" the people of Delhi by backtracking on its election promises.

The Laxmi Nagar MLA on Sunday had claimed support of at least five legislators and threatened to pull down the government if his demands were not met within 48 hours.

He had asked the government to sort out issues related to power and water sector. He demanded that government should give subsidy on 8 per cent increase in power surcharge. The DERC has increased the power surcharge ranging from 6 to 8 per cent this month.

He had also said that "The government should make women squads as promised to ensure security of women. Instead of charging people for entire 700 litres of water after exceeding the limit, the government should charge only for water consumed over 700 litres.

Binny had also said that he would also form a political front with two other AAP MLAs, who were in touch with him, along with municipal councillors.

He also claimed support of JD (U) MLA Shoaib Iqbal and Independent legislator Rambeer Shokeen. Both the MLAs later said they would not go ahead with their threat.

The two legislators had said they changed their mind after a meeting with Kejriwal on Monday and then claimed that Binny had also agreed not to withdraw support to AAP government.
