New Delhi, Jan 16
Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Vinod Kumar Binny Thursday threatened to go on a hunger strike from Jan 27 if Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal does not fulfill the promises made in the election manifesto.
He even attacked the party and the government for backtracking on the promises made.
"I will start an agitation 10 days later on Jan 27 at Jantar Mantar, if the government does not fulfill the promises made to the people of Delhi," said the AAP legislator at a press conference here.
Listing the demands, he said he wants the party government to pass Anna Hazare's version of the Jan Lokpal Bill by Jan 25 or 26 and also start building a lady commando force for women's security.
"Kejriwal have done a lot of agitation against the Congress and the BJP. Now you have to explain and show the people how your thought is different from theirs."
Though the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in the Delhi assembly polls with 31 seats, the AAP - which bagged 28 seats - formed the minority government with the outside support of Congress's eight legislators.
Binny, who defeated Congress heavyweight A.K. Walia in the December assembly elections, said that according to his sources there were close ties between Congress MP Sandeep Dikshit and the Delhi chief minister.
