BJP's Kirori Lal Meena On Why He Quit As Rajasthan Minister

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.
