Congress leaders Ajay Maken and Sachin Pilot.
Congress leaders Ajay Maken and Sachin Pilot have hit out at the Centre over the Lalit Modi row.
Here is what they have said:
- The biggest issue right now is how the PM is silent on the issues that are relevant right now. Why is he silent?
- Why is he not speaking about those who have broken the law?
- It is now clear beyond any doubt that Vasundhara Raje has indeed signed those documents.
- How BJP used words like 'transparency, accountability' etc; look what's happening now.
- The BJP is in denial over wrongdoings by its ministers and leaders.
- It is now the inescapable truth that the current Chief Minister of Rajasthan has signed the affidavit for Lalit Modi.
- The BJP needs to face the reality that Vasundhara Raje broke the law.
- They must ask Vasundhara ji to step down immediately.
- The BJP is speaking in different voices. Does it see Lalit Modi as a victim or a fugitive.
- There cannot be two sets of standards, one for your leaders and one for others.
- Lalit Modi filed an affidavit with the UK border agency.
- It clearly states - clause 18 states - rely on 3 witnesses - Mahmood Abdin, Vasundhara Raje and Robert Nichols.
- At no point has the Chief Minister (Raje) said she has not signed the document or that it is fake.
- Nobody has questioned the authenticity of the signature.
- The BJP should make it clear what it thinks is the way forward.
- Maybe a succession plan is a problem for them.
- People of India do not care what are the internal problems of the BJP.
- The only question now is that how multiple issues are against the BJP leadership.
- This is not the leadership that 125 crore people in India voted for.
