Vinod Kumar Binny to take on Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi

NEW DELHI: AAP rebel and former MLA from Laxmi Nagar Vinod Kumar Binny is going to contest against AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat in the upcoming assembly elections.

Binny says his aim is to "expose Kejriwal" before the people of Delhi. BJP, which is in talks with several members from AAP, Congress and BAAP, is likely to induct Binny in the party. A final decision will be taken in next 48 hours.

"Kejriwal has misled and cheated Delhiites. He didn't bring down power prices. People didn't get free water. They did nothing on the Jan Lokpal issue," Binny said.

Speculation is rife that Binny is likely to join BJP. "Before I join any party, I would like to know their stand on these issues. I'll reveal my plan in a week,'' said Binny.

Other names doing the rounds are former AAP MLA M S Dhir and AAP rebels Ashwini Upadhyay and Shazia Ilmi. Sources said that BJP chief Amit Shah has directed the state unit to let people from other parties join BJP but without any promise of a party ticket.
