Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav on Wednesday denied any rift within party and stressed that party MLA Vinod Kumar Binny is not greedy of any post, and added that the MLA from Laxmi Nagar has stood by the party when there was no one by our side.

"Unfortunate that such an image about him (Vinod Kumar Binny) was formed that he is greedy for any post," Yadav told media here.

Earlier, Binny, who is reportedly miffed about his name being dropped from the list of probable cabinet ministers, , denied any rift within the party.

"I am not upset with the party. There is no rift within the party," Binny told media here.

"I gave a statement yesterday that whatever media wants to ask, they can ask in our press conference tomorrow. This statement has been represented in other way. There is no rift," he said.

"I left early because I had to go for a reception. There are many other responsibilities. They might have chosen me for some other responsibility. I don't want to be a minister," he added.
