"There are 42 FIRs registered against Yeddyurappa. Let him come out of them," said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
He was speaking to reporters at the helipad in Kushtagi, Koppal district, on Thursday.
"Indira Gandhi went to prison during emergency, and not for taking bribes like Yeddyurappa," said Siddaramaiah.
"Yeddyurappa went to jail along with Katta Subramanya Naidu for accepting a bribe by cheque. Indira Gandhi went to jail during emergency," the CM stated, asking: "Are there any scams in our party?"
