Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje cancels UK visit
Rajasthan CM was scheduled to visit London for an interaction with business tycoons ahead of the Rajasthan Resurgent Meet in Jaipur
Jaipur: Amidst a raging controversy over her ties with ex-IPL boss Lalit Modi, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Wednesday cancelled her scheduled visit to London.
Raje was scheduled to visit London for an interaction with business tycoons ahead of the Rajasthan Resurgent Meet in Jaipur in November. The Chief Minister was supposed to visit London from 27 June to 2 July but in view of the important Niti Aayog meeting she has cancelled her UK tour, a CMO spokesperson said.
Raje will be in Delhi on June 28 to attend Niti Aayog’s sub-committee meeting. The Rajasthan Chief Minister and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj have been facing flak for helping Lalit Modi procure travel documents in the UK, a country which he has made his home to avoid legal processes in India. Lalit Modi, 49, travelled to London in 2010 after the Indian Premier League.
