| Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, who is in jail for the cash-for-votes scam, has now blamed the BJP. Noted lawyer Ram Jethmalani, arguing for Amar Singh's bail, has said in the court that the BJP arranged for cash that the MPs brought in Parliament.
He also appealed to the court that Mr Singh be released on bail so that "he can attend to his ailing wife".
The court was hearing Mr Singh's interim bail plea; it has reserved the order till Tuesday.
The former Samajwadi Party leader has been in Tihar jail for almost two weeks now after he was arrested by CBI in connection with the in cash-for-votes scam case.
Mr Singh has sought bail on health grounds. The jail authorities last Friday submitted a medical record of the Rajya Sabha MP saying his medical condition was stable.
Mr Singh was arrested earlier this week for allegedly bribing three BJP MPs to support the government during a trust vote in July 2008.
Mr Singh had a kidney transplant last year; he says being in Tihar Jail makes him vulnerable to infection. The judge hearing his case was not satisfied with the documents submitted earlier this week by his lawyers, and had asked for complete medical records.
The politician has been kept in Ward No 4 of Jail No 3 which has 20 cells each measuring 22x8 feet. Each cell has its own separate toilet and bathroom.
