AAP finally expels rebel MLA Vinod Kumar Binny

New Delhi: Cracking the whip, the Aam Aadmi Party Sunday night expelled its rebel MLA Binod Kumar Binny, ten days after he called Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal a "dictator" and accused the party of "betraying"

Binny had announced that he will sit on a dharna at Jantar Mantar if the party fails to fulfil the promises made to people by January 27.

In his press conference, Binny had slammed the leadership on a range of issues and said taking support of Congress to form the government was a "compromise of the party's principles".

He had said the party has "forgotten" its ideologies and become "an opportunist outfit" after coming to power. "They are using policy of use and throw. First, they have used Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and still many people in the party are being exploited," he had said.

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.
