      CJI DY Chandrachud: If it was one month after the election takes place and they suddenly bypassed the BJP and joined INC, that's different. Three years you cohabit and suddenly one fine day group of 34 say there is discontent.

      CJI DY Chandrachud: But they broke bread for three years. They broke bread with INC and NCP for three years. What happened overnight after three years of happy marriage?

      SG Mehta: In Kihoto, it was held that you're not going as an individual, you're going with a particular ideology.

    • 15 March 2023 12:14 PM IST

      CJI DY Chandrachud: This is a very sad spectacle in our democracy. This is irrespective of the morality of Shivsena having joined INC.
