Ashok Gehlot accuses Centre of ‘selling’ Aravallis, alleges conspiracy behind policy changes
Ashok Gehlot, former Rajasthan Chief Minister, accused the Central Government of a conspiracy to weaken environmental safeguards and allow mining in the Aravalli range. He argued that the government's redefinition of the Aravallis with a 100-meter criterion is part of a larger plan to hand over the region to mining interests, citing the CEC's loss of independence and the expedited approval for Sariska's Critical Tiger Habitat boundary alteration as evidence. Bhupendra Yadav, Union Environment Minister, has been accused of misleading statements about the extent of mining allowed in the Aravallis.
