Senior BJP leader and four-time former legislator Kunjilal Meena (86) passed away here on Monday after a prolonged illness.

He was undergoing treatment at a hospital here, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson said.

Former chief minister Vasundhara Raje expressed condolence on Meena's death.
