Bharatiya Janata Party (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, 7 August, the MP sat on a dharna near Dhilawati police station 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.
