Modi-Shah meet amid pressure to sack Swaraj, Vasundhara

June 19, 2015 12:25

BJP chief Amit Shah met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi amid mounting pressure from the Opposition to sack External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje for their alleged ties with scam-tainted Lalit Modi.

Sources said that Shah, who had gone to the PM's residence along with a delegation of UP farmers last evening, stayed back and had a detailed discussion with him on Modigate.

Shah is understood to have discussed possible damage control measures in the wake of fresh disclosures indicating links Raje and Swaraj had with the former IPL boss.

The sources said Shah is also in touch with RSS leadership on the issue.

While BJP's top leaders have come out in support of Swaraj, they are yet to openly back Raje.
