Lalit Modi row: Raje rubbishes 'baseless' reports

26 Jun 2015 Evaluate

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje refuted reports of personally calling her MLAs to seek their support and loyalty describing them as 'baseless'. Her media advisor said that once again some sections of the media are running baseless stories saying Raje personally called the MLAs seeking their support and loyalty. This news is totally untrue and he added that he appeal to the media to check and verify facts before running their stories.

Raje had been banking on the support of her loyal MLAs in Rajasthan for the last two days as the BJP central leadership kept silent on the controversy surrounding former IPL boss Lalit Modi. The BJP, which has been defending External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj despite opposition demands that she be sacked for helping Lalit Modi, was hit with another worry last week when the former IPL boss claimed that Raje secretly supported his immigration plea in Britain. The opposition mounted pressure on Raje after the emergence of a letter reportedly carrying her signature in which she backs Lalit Modi's application in the UK.
