Jaipur:

BJP MLA Kirori Lal Meena, who submitted his resignation as minister several days ago, said on Friday that he has given up the ministerial post in the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan because party leaders did not give weightage to him.

Mr Meena submitted resignation as cabinet minister following the BJP’s underwhelming performance on some seats in the Lok Sabha polls in the state. However, his resignation has not been accepted yet.

“Maine to is Bhajanlal sarkar me mantri pad ko thokar isliye maar di jahaan main 45 saal se seva kar raha tha… un logon ne meri baat ko nahi rakha (I gave up the ministerial post in this Bhajanlal government because the people I have been serving for 45 years did not listen to me),” he said.

Speaking at a tribal day function in Dausa, Mr Meena addressed a large number of the community people and also asserted that he will not let any kind of tampering happen with reservation.

“Before the election, people used to say that (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi will come and will end reservation. Modi has come and it is the responsibility of Dr Kirori Lal that he will not let any kind of tampering happen with reservation,” he said.

Jaipur:

Kirodi Lal Meena, the Rajasthan BJP MLA who recently resigned as a state minister, on Wednesday handed over ‘evidence’ of paper leak in the recruitment examination conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) to the Special Operations Group (SOG) ADG V.K. Singh.

Saying the evidence will help the SOG catch the ‘big fish’, Mr Meena alleged that due to the role of many SOG officials, the paper leak accused could not be exposed so far.

Levelling allegations against some SOG officials and the RPSC Chairman, Mr Meena threatened to sit on a ‘Satyagraha’ if suitable action is not taken against the guilty within 15 days.

Talking to mediapersons, Mr Meena said, “The prime accused Udaram and Suresh Dhaka (masterminds behind senior teacher recruitment paper leak) are treasure troves of information, whose arrests should be made as soon as possible.”

He also accused RPSC Chairman Sanjay Shrotriya of practising irregularities, alleging that he handed over the examination of answer sheets to private people.

“SOG officials who played with the future of the youth of Rajasthan should be arrested. The leaders who gave them instructions should also be brought to the book,” Mr Meena said.

“The previous government helped the paper leak mafia flourish, and some SOG officials supported them. I have given the names of those SOG officials to the ADG,” he said.
