Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje: A document containing Raje's signature backing Lalit Modi's stay in UK created a huge uproar with the opposition demanding her resignation.

HRD minister Smriti Irani: Hauled up for submitting fake educational degrees to the Election Commission. Smriti Irani has been in the middle of protests calling for her resignation for allegedly lying about her qualification. The case is in court currently.

Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Pankaja Munde: Accused of being involved in a scam causing a loss of Rs 206 crore in purchase of food items. The opposition has demanded her resignation as well.
