I would also like to share examples on how Modi Government Jails every honest opposition leader who does development work for general public and gets popular.

2 leaders of Aam Aadmi Party (a primary opponent to PM Modi) are lodged in Jail for months without trial. Same judge appointment by Modi government somehow gets all the cases related to Aam Aadmi Party and orders to extend the judicial custody month after month.

Satyendra Jain, the man behind world famous Delhi Mohalla Clinic (Neighbourhood Clinic) is in jail awaiting trial since May 2022 on allegations of money laundering. [1] [2] [3]

Manish Sisodia, the man behind public education revolution in New Delhi is in jail awaiting trial since Feb 2023 on allegations of corruption in creating Delhi Excise Policy. [4] [5] [6]

All the leaders you mentioned have accumulated and hoarded cash which was disclosed in IT raids. There is an ongoing investigation on how they sold liquor licenses for cash. They are jailed as per court orders after investigation.

Pardon my language. But this is utter bull**t. Have you even read the link that you shared? It says:

>> "Special CBI court allows ED to question Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain"

>> "The ED is now probing the money-laundering angle"

>> "Jain is currently in Delhi's Tihar jail in connection with a money-laundering case, which is also being probed by the ED."

Do you know the difference between "jailed after investigation." and "jailed while being probed"?

If tomorrow CBI arrests you on allegation of money laundering and then keeps you in jail for one year while investigating, are you fine with that?

Can you please point me to a single news article which says they recovered any cash? And how much was it?

Can you please also point me to a single BJP leader in whole country who has been jailed while being investigated?

The SA accused BJP leader against whom women wrestlers are protesting was a BJP guest in yesterdays parliament event.

I am just amazed at the analytical abilities of some of today's "engineers" and "entrepreneurs". :(
