Bap MLA jaikrishn patel arreded by acb: ACB has tightened the grip on Rajkumar Rot’s Bharat Tribal Party (BAP) MLA Jaikrishna Patel in Rajasthan. ACB i.e. Anti Corruption Bureau has arrested Jaikrishna Patel for taking a bribe of Rs 20 lakh. The BAP MLA is accused of leaving three questions in the assembly.
38 -year -old Jaikrishna Patel became the first MLA from Bagidaura seat in Banswara district of Rajasthan. In the assembly by -election with the Lok Sabha, the public won him. This is the first case in the history of Rajasthan when ACB has arrested an MLA on charges of corruption. This information has been given by ACB Director General Ravi Prakash Meharda.
MLAs were caught red handed taking 20 lakhs
According to the report of news agency PTI, it is alleged that Jaikrishna Patel had placed a demand of Rs 10 crore for not questioning the mines in the assembly. It is claimed that this deal was finalized for Rs 2.5 crore. The complainant gave one lakh rupees to the first MLA. After this, ACB was caught taking Rs 20 lakh in the MLA residence. The ACB says that the MLA had given a bag with cash of Rs 20 lakh to a man, who has run away with him. Now the ACB officials are trying to catch the man by questioning the MLA.
The DG of ACB claims that both audio and video against father MLA Jaikrishna Patel are evidence, which are enough to prove the allegations against him.
Rajkumar Root talked about action
Rajkumar Rot, the head of India tribal party, says that if the allegations are proved, then the party will take action against MLA Jaikrishna Patel. At the moment, it will not be right to say anything on this. It may also happen that this is the conspiracy of the BJP government. We are investigating the case and trying to find out whether Jaikrishna Patel has a role in corruption case. After this, the party will take proper action.
For information, let us know that four of the 200 assembly seats in Rajasthan are BAP MLAs. The DG has claimed that the assembly speaker had been informed about this and after his permission, the MLA has been caught red handed in a planned manner.
ACB plan to catch MLA
It is being told that the father MLA had presented three questions about the mines of the complainant mine owner. These mines do not come in Bagidaura Assembly. It is alleged that MLA Jaikrishna Patel was insisting that the complainant came to Banswara with 20 lakh rupees, but he convinced the MLA to come to Jaipur. After this, Jaikrishna Patel called the complainant and asked him to come to the MLA residence and then the ACB teams became active.
Sachin Pilot also reacted
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan and senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot has described the matter as unfortunate. He has said that there is no one greater than the law. It is important that we do clean politics. Such cases that have come up with the legislators take the confidence of the public. It should not happen.
At the same time, Sachin Pilot also says that the central government is also keeping political weapons to the investigating agencies. This has been proved. ED, IT and CBI have been given open exemption. The Supreme Court has also said that the rate of conviction in ED cases is only one percent. In such a situation, it is necessary that there should be a fair investigation.
