New Delhi: 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.
