New Delhi: The BJP is confident that Vasundhara Raje will quit as the Leader of the Opposition in Rajasthan.
"I've asked her to quit. I'm confident that party's orders on Raje will be obeyed," said BJP president Rajnath Singh after a meeting of top party leaders in Delhi.
Rajnath dubbed Vasundhara Raje's latest statement as "positive".
PTI adds: Earlier, Vasundhara Raje said she never thought of floating a separate party and invoked the contribution of her mother Vijaya Raje to BJP.
"I have neither made any adverse comments nor any statement against BJP or its leader or thought of floating any party," the former chief minister said, adding she was hurt by the "untrue" statements being attributed to her against the BJP, which was nurtured by "blood and sweat" of her mother.
In a statement issued after a three-hour meeting with six MLAs at her residence, Raje said, "The party whose founder was my mother, the party which was nurtured by her blood and sweat to strengthen it and her life's every moment was spent for party's interest and ideological thought, for that mother-like BJP, manipulated and untrue statements are being attributed to me. I am hurt by it".
"In politics I have my mother as my idol...I have reached to this height after sharing public grievances in last 20 years," she was quoted as saying in the statement signed by her media advisor Mahendra Bhardwaj.
