"What is the difference between AAP and other parties? The way in which Bhushan and Yadav was ousted from party's National Executive is frightening. Their crime was only that they opposed Kejriwal.
Drawing parallels with Janta Party, it said that destiny seems to be taking AAP towards fate of that party which won the 6th Lok Sabha elections, with its alliances.
"Post the emergency period, people had huge hopes with Janata Party. The way Janata Party was destined to get disintegrated after coming to power, Kejriwal's destiny seems to be taking him the same way," it said.
The Sena said given what has been happening within his party, Kejriwal should cease to preach others about politics.
AAP has been facing internal turmoil with senior leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav sacked from the National Executive after being accused of conspiring against the party.
