In Rajasthan, BJP MLA Ram Bilas Meena has found himself at the center of a controversy after he allegedly scolded a forest department worker for lodging two cases against villagers.

The legislator from Lalsot, Dausa, reportedly urged the official to drop these cases—a demand caught on camera and shared widely on social media.

Contacted for a statement, Meena told PTI that ranger Radheshyam had accused villagers of hindering government projects when they filled pits near their farms, inadvertently damaging department-planted trees. The cases in question include allegations of illegal mining and other offenses.
