Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot on Thursday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to immediately ask Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje for her resignation.
"The Chief Minister of Rajasthan has never denied that the documents are false, that the signatures were not hers. Now, what remains to be seen is how quickly will the BJP act on this. Now, that there is complete disclosure of documents, everything there is in public domain," Pilot told ANI.
"The BJP must act swiftly; they cannot be two laws in this country- one for the common citizens and other for the BJP higher ranking officials. I am of the opinion that the BJP must immediately seek a resignation," he added.
The BJP, which has been defending External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj despite opposition demands that she be sacked for helping Lalit Modi, was hit with another worry last week when the former IPL boss claimed that Raje secretly supported his immigration plea in Britain.
The opposition mounted pressure on Raje after the emergence of a letter reportedly carrying her signature, in which she backs Lalit Modi's application in the UK.
