Jaipur, August 16: Contrary to former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje’s claim that she has not received any communication from the BJP central leadership to step down as Leader of Opposition in the assembly, the state unit today said party chief Rajnath Singh had conveyed to her to quit.
Party President Rajnath Singh personally spoke to Raje and asked her to step down, state BJP chief Arun Chaturvedi told PTI.
When asked about Raje denying that she had received any such communication, he said, “I cannot say anything about it.
But I have been informed of the party president having spoken to her personally about the matter.”
Earlier, Raje during an informal chat with the media said that she had not received any communique from the leadership to this effect and any talk over the issue was unnecessary.
