MP Kirori Lal Meena Dares ACB: 'Arrest or Exonerate' in Jal Jeevan Mission Case

Jaipur, Rajasthan – Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Kirori Lal Meena has publicly challenged the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Rajasthan, urging them to either arrest him if they find him guilty or clear his name if he is innocent. This direct confrontation comes after an FIR was lodged against the BJP leader and others concerning alleged irregularities in the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).

Meena, who has been vocal about the alleged corruption within the JJM scheme, stated firmly that he is prepared to face any investigation. He has consistently maintained his innocence, asserting that he was the one who initially brought the scam to light by providing evidence to the very agency now investigating him.

Political Conspiracy Allegations Emerge

The MP has labelled the FIR against him as a “political conspiracy” designed to silence his voice against corruption. He expressed his readiness to cooperate fully with the ACB’s investigation, emphasizing his commitment to transparency and justice.

The FIR reportedly implicates Meena and others in demanding a 50% commission for work related to the Jal Jeevan Mission, a charge he vehemently denies. He has called for a swift and impartial inquiry to resolve the matter.

Call for Fair Process Amidst Scrutiny

Dr. Meena reiterated his stance, stating he is willing to be arrested if concrete evidence of his guilt emerges. Conversely, he expects the ACB to publicly clear his name if the allegations prove baseless, ensuring his reputation remains intact.

This development adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Jal Jeevan Mission in Rajasthan, keeping the focus on accountability and the investigative process.
