Rebels to topple Kejriwal Govt ?
The Kejriwal government@ Delhi is facing threat of dissension and topple game hardly within 30 days of its assuming power. Vinod Kumar Binny, the expelled Aam Aadmi Party legislator says he has the support of six Delhi MLAs ( four of AAP and two of JD(u) and an Independent) and is threatening to pull the rug from under the Arvind Kejriwal government.
After Chief Minister Mr Kejriwal expelled Binny last month, he has 27 legislators in the 70-member Delhi Assembly. The Congress, with its eight MLAs and two others - a Janata Dal (United) law-maker and an Independent - help him to 37, one more than he needs for a clear majority of 36. Senior AAP members are worried enough to have gone into a huddle last night. Even the withdrawal of support by Iqbal and Shokeen will put the government in trouble on numbers.
They would also have discussed the resignation from the party of founding member AAP and former diplomat, Madhu Bhaduri, who quit the party yesterday saying there is no place for women in AAP..
The Aam Aadmi Party has however accused BJP of scripting a rebellion against it in Delhi, alleging that the big party is afraid the rookie will upset its plans for the general elections due by May.
