Rajasthan govt issuing leases without auctions: Congress
Jaipur: PCC chief Sachin Pilot on Friday accused the Vasundhara Raje government of promoting corruption by attempting to issue mining leases (MLs) to prospective lease (PL) holders without going for auctions.
“We have learnt that instead of going for auctions, the government is preparing to give MLs to PL holders only. It will cause a loss of Rs 5 lakh crore to the exchequer,” Pilot told TOI.

He added, “Congress’ alertness exposed the state’s mining scam recently and the government could now not benefit cronies, so it is now preparing to ignore auctions process in issuing MLs.”
