Jaitley meets Amit Shah
New Delhi, June 26
Amid growing demands for the
resignation of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje over her
alleged favour to former IPL chief Lalit Modi, Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley on Friday met BJP president Amit Shah at his residence.
The two are believed to have discussed the controversy surrounding Raje.
According to sources, before meeting Shah, Jaitley also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Jaitley had returned from a week-long visit to the US on Thursday.
Soon
after landing at the airport Jaitley had told reporters while replying
to a question related to Raje and External Affairs Minister Sushma
Swaraj that there is "nobody who is tainted".
Sushma Swaraj is
being accused of helping Modi in getting British travel documents on
"humanitarian grounds" to travel to Portugal in 2014 after his Indian
passport stood revoked. Raje is accused of testifying in favour of
Modi's British immigration application in 2011.
