| AAP woes: In Delhi Binny, in Bangalore Gopinath

| It was a rocky Wednesday for the Aam Aadmi Party. In Delhi newly elected legislator Vinod Kumar Binny rebelled against the party leadership. In Bangalore, brand new member CR Gopinath asked party chief Arvind Kejriwal to reconsider his decision to scrap FDI in retail.
Captain Gopinath is known as the pioneer of low cost aviation in India and his entry into AAP two weeks ago was announced with much hype. The party held up his decision to join as proof that highly regarded professionals endorse the year-old party's agenda.
"Why give Indian corporates a chance, and refuse the same opportunities to foreign corporates? It will create jobs. I think AAP should reconsider its stand," Captain Gopinath said, when asked about his party's stand on the entry of mutli-brand retail chains in India.
In a move that sent alarm bells ringing in the UPA government and Industry, Mr Kejriwal had on Monday reversed the approval granted by his predecessor Sheila Dikshit to international chains to set up shop in the capital, arguing that such a move would lead to large-scale job losses.
Captain Gopinath cautioned the AAP leadership not to 'work in haste.'
Mr Kejriwal's government has, after assuming power on December 28, taken a string of steps, only to revoke them later. These include their decision to hold weekly janta durbars, and waiver of long-standing dues of electricity defaulters.
