 A new controversy has erupted over former IPL chief Lalit Modi's alleged offer of a job to external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj's husband."Lalit Modi made a job offer to Swaraj Kaushal, husband of Sushma Swaraj, on April 15, 2015 but withdrew the offer on April 24, 2015," Times Now reported on Wednesday.Swaraj Kaushal acknowledged that he had been offered a post by the Indofil board but said that he did not consent to the same."I am a lawyer for Lalit Modi for over 20 years. 

I was offered to be alternate director on indofil board. I did not give my consent. The request was withdrawn," Swaraj Kaushal told ANI.After today's revelations, Congress again trained its guns on external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, asking her to come clean on the Lalit Modi issue.The opposition party also demanded that the Narendra Modi government tell the truth about Sushma Swaraj's relations with former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi."Sushma Swaraj must tell the people of the country how many times she has met Lalit Modi or if any of



her family members had been in touch with the fugitive," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said at a media briefing here.

Lalit Modi's tweet now drags Priyanka into rowBJP slams Congress for raising baseless issuesBJP on Wednesday criticized the Congress for coming up with a baseless issue over former IPL boss Lalit Modi's alleged job offer to Swaraj Kaushal, saying it had been done on a personal capacity."Regarding all the allegations, an email is sent on personal capacity to a professional appointee who is lawyer in this case which is Swaraj Kaushal and he's not even accepted it. If this is the Congress's idea of impropriety then they need to reflect on all cases that happen everyday in the country," BJP leader Nalin Kohli said."Very routinely people are requested to be directors, lawyers, advocates. The Congress Party has run out of ideas and is desperately clutching at straws," he added.He further said that the BJP is only interested in the 12 allegations against Lalit Modi which is going to be the focus in the case.
