Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today dubbed former Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse a "traitor" for his alleged conversation with Dawood Ibrahim, while coming out in support of Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who is lodged in jail over alleged sedition charges.

As the fate of Maharashtra Minister Eknath Khadse who is facing graft allegations hangs in balance, the Congress today piled pressure on the BJP for his dismissal to prove Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim of "zero tolerance" to corruption.
