Standing firmly behind Vasundhara Raje, who is embroiled in a controversy for allegedly having business relation with former IPL chief Lalit Modi, the BJP today reiterated that she will stay as the Rajasthan Chief Minister.
"Raje will stay as the Rajasthan Chief Minister and continue to serve her people," BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahanwaz Hussain said, giving clean chit to Raje.
Slamming the Congress for running a smear campaign against Raje out of its ill will towards her for making Rajasthan a Congree-free state, Hussain rubbished all charges of wrongdoing against the Chief Minister without going into details.

On the charge against Raje's son Dushyant Singh for acquiring a palace allegedly belonging to the state, Hussain claimed any dispute on the said property has been settled by the court and it has ruled that the multi-crore palace belonged to the Chief Minister's son.
"When the court has ruled in favour of Dushyant Singh on the palace's ownership, why is the Congress playing politics over the matter?" the BJP national spokesperson asked.
He further claimed even the Congress government in Rajasthan had acknowledged Dushyant Singh's ownership right on the palace and gave him compensation in lieu of acquisition of land.
