Independent MLA Shokeen withdraws support to AAP govt

Shokeen further blamed Kejriwal and his ministers of not visiting the villages of Delhi at least once after the formation of the Government.

However, soon after Shokeen, JD(U) MLA Shoaib Iqbal's son came to the LG's office and submitted a letter to him, citing that he will continue extending his support to the AAP government.

“Keeping in view the present political crisis in Delhi, I would like to inform you that my support to the Aam Admi Party government still continues.

“As far as the matter of Jan Lokpal Bill is concerned, I would like that the present political crisis arising due to the Jan Lokpal Bill be resolved in consultation with all parties and persons. I hope that your good self may take necessary measures to resolve the present political crisis in Delhi,” the letter written by Iqbal said.

“Trouble is mounting for the Dehi government and they have to resolve them so that public and political parties do not face re-election. I will support him on the Jan Lokpal Bill. But from the statement that has come from Arvind Kejriwal, it seems that he is not willing to run the government,” he said.

In a House of 70, AAP's strength was reduced to 26, after Laxminagar constituency MLA Vinod Kumar Binny was expelled from the party and another member was elected as the speaker.
