Kirodi Lal Meena has said that the General Administration Department, which is under Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, is going ahead with the project without cabinet clearance.
The six-month-old Bhajan Lal Sharma government in Rajasthan is facing its first major crisis, and a possible rift, with a cabinet minister flagging lapses in a housing project being handled by a department that comes under the chief minister.
In a letter to Mr Sharma, senior BJP leader and Agriculture Minister Kirodi Lal Meena has said the way the project in Jaipur's upmarket area of Gandhinagar - which is home to senior judges and IAS officers among others - is being planned will result in a loss of Rs 1,146 crore to the state government.
Mr Meena has also said that the General Administration Department (GAD), which is under the chief minister, is going ahead with the project without cabinet clearance and has urged Mr Sharma to stop it and recall the file.
