New Delhi:
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh is addressing a press conference to take on the Modi government in the Lalit Modi row. Here are the highlights:
The PM is silent on Lalit Modi issue
It is clear that Vasundhara Raje-Lalit Modi are business partners
In 2013 affidavit had acknowledged this
There is no doubt in this
In 15 days, finally Raje accepted that she had accepted that the signatures were hers
We want to tell our PM 'Swami Maunendra' (silent swami) that Vasundhara Raje and Lalit Modi converted government property into personal assets
Modi government can't run away from reality
Vasundhara Raje's husband, Dushyant's father in a statement in court in 1980 said that the Dholpur Palace wasn't personal property, it belonged to the government.
Up until 2010 Dholpur Mahal was declared government property 6 times, starting from 1954. In 2013, Vasundhara Raje said that Lalit Modi has 815 shares.
We will put these documents in front of the people of this country
Iske baad agar Maunendra Dhritarahstra banna chahtey hain toh unki marzi hai
It is not a question of if Vasundhara Raje will quit as Rajasthan chief minister, but when and how?
Based on these documents, it is imperative for Vasundhara Raje to quit as chief minister
Despite Dholpur City Palace being governmental property, Vasundhara Raje and Lalit Modi proceeded to convert it into a high-end private luxury hotel.
This is the fourth episode in the serial of Vasudhara Raje and the fugitive Lalit Modi.
First episode established Vasudhara Raje and Lalit Modi were business partners.
Second episode established that Lalit Modi got Rs 21cr from Mauritius and invested in Dushyant Singh's company.
Third established that Vasundhara Raje signed a 7-page document for UK authorities to help Lalit Modi.
Fourth: what we are saying today is Vasundhara Raje, Lalit Modi and Niyant has converted Dholpur Palace, a government property into private property.
Vasundhara Raje, Lalit Modi Showing Government Property as Private, says Congress.
This is a private-private partnership to manage a public property, without any revenues accruing to the Government of Rajasthan. This is a bizarre PPP.
