Rajasthan: Curious case of 'Minister' Kirodi Meena, why is he miffed with his govt?
Rajasthan’s Bhajan Lal Sharma government is all set to celebrate its first anniversary on December 15 and several events are planned to mark the occasion. Before this, the state is also holding a mega Rising Rajasthan Investment Summit from December 9 to 11 where India Inc will make its presence felt.
Amid this high profile, event one man is in the the news for all the wrong reasons is Dr Kirodi Lal Meena, ‘former’ Agriculture minister in Bhajan Lal Cabinet. Meena’s status as the minister is debatable because though he has submitted his resignation from the Cabinet it has not been accepted by the CM. Meena resigned in a dramatic move after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections when his candidate from the Dausa Parliamentary seat had lost. Meena had during election campaigning vowed that he would resign from cabinet if BJP lost Dausa. The June 4 results saw the Congress candidate winning Dausa seat which is said to be Meena’s stronghold. However, since then he has been giving mixed signals regarding his status as a minister. On some occasions he tours the state as a minister while on other he takes up cudgels against his own government.
Since then Meena has been cornoring the Bhajan Lal government on one issue or the other. However, raising issues that are close to publoc is not new to Meena as he is known to stage dharnas, hold protests against both Congress and his own BJP government on issues that he deems fit to side with the public.
It may be noted that Kirodi Lal Meena is an indelible name in Rajasthan........
