Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal called his minority AAP government a "48-hour" government before the trust vote recently.

On Sunday, ousted AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny, plus independent MLA Rambir Shokeen and JD(U) MLA Shoaib Iqbal, debilitated to quit supporting the AAP government if their requests were not met within 48 hours. The MLAs guaranteed they were in touch with two more MlAs. They, in any case, did not uncover the names of the two MLAs they guaranteed to be in touch with.

"We are in touch with two more MLAs… We will form our own front and not join any party. Not just MLAs, there are councillors —  chairmen and deputy chairmen — who will be part of our front. The name of the front will be decided at night," Binny said.

Their demands incorporate 700 litres of free water to families without the 10% surcharge if extra water is expended, creation of Mahila Suraksha Dals promptly, opening probes against those purportedly included in the CWG scam and the CM satisfying his guarantee to waive power and water bills, and move back the surcharge on power.

Flanked by Shokeen and Iqbal, Binny said they will quit supporting the Kejriwal govt. if the requests were not met. "This government has turned a deaf ear to the grievances of the public. Whoever points this out is treated as an enemy. Keeping away corrupt politicians from Parliament is a responsibility that we have to fulfill. Similarly, we need to keep ‘liars’ away from the government as well. The AAP government has misled people. They are not interested in running the government," Binny affirmed.

Inquired as to whether the legislature was in risk, Iqbal said, "No doubt this government is in danger."

Shokeen charged that villages in his Mundka body electorate were still dry. "I am willing to pay money if they get water supply, but they haven’t," he said.

Criticising Kejriwal's case of giving 50% discount on power bills, Shokeen said, "I too can make similar promises and, after becoming the CM, if I tell you that the rebate will only be on a few units and the rest will be charged as per the existing rate, then it means I have misled the voters.”
