Congress on way to withdraw support to AAP?

New Delhi, Dec 25: Not even a day had passed after the Aam Aadmi Party (

) decided to form a government in Delhi with the

's support and it already hit its first roadblock. A section of Congress supporters have raised a demand to rethink offering support to

's party which had been vocal against it on the issue of corruption.

The Congress's divided position will add more to the trouble that Kejriwal is already facing in his own party. Reports said Kejriwal and his team were busy pacifying Vinod Kumar Binny, one of the AAP MLAs, who resented over the Cabinet's formation. Binny, a former Congressman, and Kejriwal, however, denied any rift within the party. Another AAP leader Manish Sisodia, a former journalist, said he was not aware whether Binny was upset.

The AAP's cabinet includes besides Sisodia, IIT graduate and lawyer Somnath Bharti, former journalist and activist Rakhi Birla, architect Satyendra Jain, engineer Saurabh Bhardwai and Girish Soni.

The AAP leadership said earlier that it would probe the corruption charges against the Congress ministers even if that meant collapse of the government in Delhi.
