NEW DELHI : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said no sitting MLA of Aam Aadmi Party will contest the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Talking to reporters here, Mr Kejriwal also dismissed MLA Vinod Kumar Binny’s criticism of the AAP Government in Delhi. Mr Kejriwal said Binny has been wanting a AAP ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections as also a ministerial post in the AAP Government in Delhi.
“Vinod Kumar Binny had come for a minister’s post in December. I denied him that post. Then, he said he will contest the Lok Sabha polls. But the party has decided not to give a Lok Sabha ticket to any sitting MLA,” Mr Kejriwal said.
It is notable that Binny, who had left the Congress to join AAP during the movement for a Jan Lokpal, had earlier expressed his unhappiness with the Arvind Kejriwal-led Government in Delhi. He had said the AAP Government failed to deliver on its promises.
“The Government is not fulfilling the promises we made to the people. There is a huge difference between what was said and what is being done,” Binny said. (AGENCIES)
