New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, who was expected to meet top BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party president Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley here on Saturday, has reportedly been snubbed amid the raging Lalit Modi controversy.
Raje had flown to New Delhi this morning to attend a NITI Aayog meeting and was expected to meet the senior party leaders in the evening amid reports that she has been given a clean chit by the party leadership in the snowballing Lalitgate.
However, Raje was denied appointments with the three leaders, reports said, and the Rajasthan CM has already returned to Jaipur.
Raje had been under pressure to quit over her alleged involvement in Lalitgate.
Reports had, however, claimed that the top leadership of the party was learnt to have accepted Raje’s defence as PM Modi met Shah and Jaitley yesterday over the issue.
Raje’s visit to New Delhi came a day after the state BJP refuted all the allegations being levelled at her, saying yesterday that the document which she signed in support of Lalit Modi’s immigration application to the UK government was never produced in court as she had backed out of it later.
