He cited examples of opposition leaders from Maharashtra, West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Bihar who were jailed without evidence.
"In Maharashtra, Anil Deshmukh had to stay in jail for 14 months, and later the court said there was no evidence, so he got bail. Sanjay Raut was kept in jail for 103 days, no evidence was found, and he got bail. I was kept in jail for 6 months, and the Supreme Court granted me bail. Three ministers from Bengal are in jail.
