The Dholpur Palace row escalated today with the Congress raising the pitch for the sacking of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, saying
there was a "criminal nexus" between her family and former IPL boss Lalit Modi, a charge rubbished by the BJP. For the second consecutive day, Ramesh accused Raje and her family of "forcible, illegal occupation" of the Dholpur Palace along with Lalit Modi through a private company.
