As the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is still struggling to deal with the political fall-out of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s move to obtain UK travel documents for the fugitive businessman Lalit Modi,  the party was hit by a fresh political storm on Tuesday evening.

This time the spotlight is on BJP’s  Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje , whose proximity to Lalit Modi was well-known till the she decided to distance herself from the sacked chairman of the Indian Premier League.
