A brief session of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly beginning on September 16 is likely to be stormy as Opposition Congress would raise its main demand of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's resignation over Lalitgate controversy.
"Congress has been continuously demanding resignation of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje for her clear involvement in signing documents in favour of Lalit Modi, former chairman of IPL and absconder from Rajasthan," Leader of Opposition (Congress) in the state assembly, Rameshwar Dudi told PTI.
Congress had approached Rajasthan Governor and President of India submitting separate memoranda demanding resignation of Raje, but is was not heard by the BJP-led NDA government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi kept silence on the important matter, Dudi said.
