Congress today staged a protest march here against Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and Union Minister Sushma Swaraj and warned of continuing their agitation till they resign.
Scores of Congress workers led by former CM Ashok Gehlot, PCC chief Sachin Pilot, Leader of Opposition in Assembly Rameshwar Dudi and former union minister Girija Vyas took out a march from Udog maidan to civil lines railway crossing.
The leaders said, their agitation against BJP leaders would continue until they resignation.
"BJP's double standards have been exposed but PM has not broken his silence on the issue yet. It shows that the party's leadership has no courage to take action.
There are serious allegations against Raje and no fair probe can be expected till she is office, so we are demanding that she should resign to clear way for a thorough probe," Pilot said.
Raje and Swaraj have been facing flak for helping former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi procure travel documents in the UK, a country which he has made his home to avoid legal processes in India.
It was unfortunate that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi was silent on the issue. Congress party will continue its protests against the BJP and demand resignations of leaders who are in question, Gehlot said.
