Gehlot demands ACB inquiry against JDA officials

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today demanded an Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) inquiry against officials of Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) over alleged irregularities in regularising a residential area in the city.
Referring to UDH Minister Rajpal Singh's statement that he would order an ACB inquiry if necessary, Gehlot said the minister should go ahead without any further delay and order it.
"There were many irregularities and rampant corruption in regularising of Prithviraj Nagar. From time to time, I have been drawing attention of the state government about the corruption in JDA and now the minister has himself admitted this," Gehlot said in a statement.

During an inspection recently, the UDH minister received complaints about the irregularities by officials of the JDA following which he said that a probe by ACB could be conducted if necessary.
