Maintaining that courts validated the action of the central investigative agencies even in the cases against NCP's Nawab Malik & Anil Deshmukh, he contended that MVA leaders don't trust courts. He made it clear that no BJP leader including former CM Devendra Fadnavis had influence over central agencies.
 
 
Patil remarked, "So far nearly all actions passed the scrutiny of the court. The main issue is that they don't trust the courts. They say this directly and indirectly. I don't know why someone doesn't take him to the court. Whether it is Anil Deshmukh or Nawab Malik, the court didn't refute anything. They said we accused Nawab Malik of having connections to Dawood. Ultimately, the charge sheet was submitted and the court agreed with this charge in a way and allowed the case to proceed further."

"The courts are there. When action was not being taken against Anil Deshmukh, social activist Jayshree Patil went to court. And the court ordered a CBI inquiry, not the Centre and not Devendra (Fadnavis). You are free to approach the courts. But you know that courts won't listen to you as your arguments have no basis," he added.
