Disgruntled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny today met anti-graft activist Anna Hazare at Ralegan Siddhi and discussed about the style of functioning of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the party.
"I visited Anna today and apprised him of the situation and the party's changing stance (on promises made by the Chief Minister)," Binny said.
"I have asked Kejriwal that assurances given to the people of Delhi should be fulfilled. He should let me know by January 26 and if I am not satisfied, I will sit on an indefinite fast from January 27," he told reporters after visiting the Saibaba Temple here.
Binny, who had called Kejriwal a "dictator" and accused his government of cheating people, however, maintained that he would not join any other political party, including BJP or Congress.
"I will stay in AAP and talk about party's policies and points. If AAP sacks me, I will still demand implementation of its policies," he said.
He alleged that AAP took decisions behind closed doors, but posed before the people as if these decisions were taken before the people.
When asked about the notice served to him by AAP, he said, "I have already sent my reply to their notice and I have not taken any wrong step. I have not abused anybody but raised my voice about people's problems like water, electricity and protection of women. If such things are offences, I will keep doing them".
He said that AAP was formed to solve common man's problems and not for positions like chief minister.
