Lalit Modi row : Rajasthan BJP came out in support of Raje and Dushyant
“Why these things are being raised before Bihar elections?” he asked. “They are unnecessarily trying to tarnish the image of Raje and Dushyant.” Parnami said misconceptions were being spread on a legal business transaction. He said Dushyant Singh’s firm has not done anything illegal.
“All transactions are as per law and the company has filed Income Tax returns regularly,” Parnami said while defending Dushyant Singh. He said: “It was purely a business dealing between Dushyant and Lalit Modi.” “Moreover, all the details of the share transaction are in the company’s balance sheet,” he added.
He also presented the company’s balance sheets, audit report and some other documents in support of his statements. Parnami said: “If there was something wrong, then why the Congress, when they were a ruling party both at the Centre and in the state, did not launch a probe at that time?”
“This clearly shows that Congress is raising baseless allegations and is engaging in petty politics,” said Parnami.
Rajasthan Health Minister Rajendra Rathore, who also attended the press conference, said all the legislators and some Independents are fully supporting Raje. “We all (legislature party), central leadership and some independents are behind her,” Rathore said.
Rathore also hit back at former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and his son Vaibhav Gehlot. “It is no secret how Vaibhav was deep in corruption in a hotel case. Ashok Gehlot as a chief minister tried to benefit his son,” he alleged.
