‘Moral death sentence for BJP’: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh after Kejriwal’s discharge in Delhi excise policy case

He also said a decent person could not even imagine how far “those duplicitous people”, who commit the “grievous sin” of leveling false allegations even against ‘Shankaracharya’, might go to defame any government, party, or individual.

Yadav said that BJP has no face left to show anyone today. “For the BJP, this news is nothing short of a moral death sentence,” he said.

Yadav and other senior leaders of the SP had campaigned in support of the Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the run-up to the Delhi Assembly elections last year. Yadav had himself participated in a roadshow with AAP chief Kejriwal.

Several key constituents of the opposition INDIA bloc — including SP, Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) — had extended their support to AAP during the Delhi elections.
