Lalit Modi row: #BJP has no space for manoeuvre, must ask Vasundhara Raje to resign: #Congress

Sharpening its attack on BJP over the issue of help extended to controversial former IPL boss Lalit Modi, Congress today said the party should ask Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to step down as it can no longer “continue to defend the indefensible”.

After the emergence of a document backing Lalit Modi’s immigration application in the UK which purportedly bears Raje’s signature, Congress has said that her continuance as Rajasthan Chief Minister has become untenable.

Dismissing as being “lame” BJP’s claim that the signatures in the said document are forged, Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot said, “I don’t think it is possible for anyone to put up that lame an argument… And, if she had to deny the signatures, she should have done it perhaps in the beginning.
