Jaipur, Aug 08:
BJP
MP
Ranjeeta
Koli
has
claimed
that
the
mining
mafia
tried
to
mow
her
down
by
a
truck
and
left
her
vehicle
damaged
in
Rajasthan’s
Bharatpur
district.

Following
the
incident
on
Sunday
night,
the
MP
sat
on
a
dharna
near
Dhilawati
police
chowki
along
with
her
supporters
demanding
action
against
illegal
mining.

The
Bharatpur
MP
said
she
was
informed
that
illegal
mining
was
taking
place
in
an
area
in
the
district
and
visited
the
spot.

“Illegal
mining
and
mining
mafia
are
so
dominant
in
Bharatpur
Lok
Sabha
constituency
that
when
I
reached
Kaman
on
getting
information,
I
found
more
than
100
vehicles
related
to
illegal
mining
on
the
spot.
When
I
tried
to
stop
them,
there
was
a
deadly
attack
on
me,”
she
claimed
on
Twitter.

“The
mining
mafia
tried
to
crush
me
and
my
associates
with
a
truck.
The
encouragement
given
to
the
mining
mafia
by
the
state
government
and
administration
is
proof
that
they
do
not
hesitate
to
attack
even
a
public
representative,”
she
said,
according
to
news
agency
PTI.

Speaking
with
reporters
in
Bharatpur,
she
said,
“I
was
attacked
for
the
fourth
time
by
the
illegal
mining
mafia.
I
had
come
to
take
stock
of
the
situation
after
being
informed
that
illegal
mining
was
going
on
in
the
area.
The
mafia
vandalised
my
vehicle.
Fortunately,
we
escaped
the
vehicle
on
time”.

Koli
alleged
that
the
Bharatpur
Superintendent
of
Police
was
reluctant
to
come
to
the
spot
after
the
incident
took
place.

When
contacted,
Bharatpur
SP
Shyam
Singh
refused
to
comment
on
the
matter
saying
he
was
busy
in
some
other
work.
