After Lalit Modi row, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today levelled fresh allegations against Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje demanding an impartial probe into Dholpur Mahal which was turned into five- star hotel.
"There should be the probe into Dholpur Mahal (belonged to Raje family). How was this converted into seven star hotel, and with whose money?" Gehlot said.
He further said, "Why and how Dholpur Mahal was converted into five star hotel, who were the fund managers, who were the contractors, the flow of money should be revealed to public. All this should be probed independently. Public wants to know it."
"Of the money that floated for Dholpur Mahal turned hotel, was also reportedly used in buying property in Lucknow and Delhi. This should also be probed," he alleged.
Reiterating his stand demanding Raje's resignation in Lalitgate, Gehlot said: "We will not sit quite, our protest will continue till her resignation comes. We will go with this matter up to President and Vice President.
