Rajasthan Ambulance Scam

Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, accused of embezzling Rs 2.56 crore in the ambulance scam today termed the charges against him as a "move to attract media glare" by the BJP-led state government.

Karti Chidambaram, the son of former Finance minister, P Chidambaram has denied being involved in the Rajasthan ambulance scam, after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a case of alleged irregularities in which he has been named as one of the accused.

Rajasthan Congress Chief Sachin Pilot today termed the action of CBI of lodging a fresh FIR against him, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and other Congress leaders in ambulance scam as a "meek, vendetta-driven malicious prosecution."

The panchayat elections in Rajasthan have seen the BJP come out on top. However, the performance does not measure up to the party's landslide victories in the 2013 Assembly and 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The polls were also the first elections that have been held under a new ordinance that mandates some educational qualification for candidates.

A day after the BJP won big in the assembly elections of Haryana and Maharashtra, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje recommended a CBI inquiry in the 108 ambulance scam, in which her predecessor Ashok Gehlot and several senior Congress leaders have been named.

Former union minister Sachin Pilot on Wednesday said the FIR filed against him and seven others, including former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, over allegations of corruption shows how state agencies are working on the BJP's directions.

Senior Congress leaders Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot have been named in a FIR filed in connection to an alleged ambulance scam under the National Rural Health Mission, which is currently being investigated by the Crime Branch - Criminal Investigation Department or CB-CID of the Rajasthan police.

The BJP says that a company with connections to the sons of two senior union ministers has gypped the government of crores of rupees in Rajasthan where it's been hired to supply ambulances across the state. The Congress is in power in Rajasthan; it has said the BJP's accusations are baseless.
