Slamming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members subscribing to the “VIP tradition” which they had once denounced, Maken said, “I was passing close to Talkatora stadium, when I saw VIP board outside the venue. I moved ahead and spotted a VVIP sign board. Only in 50 days Aam Aadmi has become VIP.”
“This is the same party which said that they will end VIP culture but now they themselves are making entry by placing VIP boards,” he said.

“They have made their MLA super-MLAs by nominating their 21 MLAs as parliamentary secretary. This has not happened anywhere in this country. They are betraying the people of the city,” Maken alleged.
The stadium was filled to its capacity with 3,000 people, even as hundreds thronged outside.
