Nobody is tainted : Jaitley on Vasundhara Raje controversy
"There is nobody who is tainted please," Jaitley said at the Delhi airport on Thursday evening on his return from the US.
Earlier on Thursday, a press release from Raje's office said she had not been asked by the party to resign. The statement complained about "unsubstantiated media reports" and also denied that she was likely to travel to Delhi soon to meet the BJP's top bosses.
On Wednesday, the Congress released a seven-page affidavit purportedly signed by Ms Raje, in which she described the Indian investigation against Modi as "a full frontal attack" that was "politically motivated."
Modi faces the charges of corruption and money laundering during his tenure as chief of the cash rich Indian Premier League.
