Kirodi Lal Meena has resigned as a minister in the Rajasthan government following BJP's underwhelming performance in the Lok Sabha polls in the state.
During the recently held elections, Meena, 72, had said he would quit the Bhajan Lal Sharma government if the BJP loses any of the seven parliamentary seats under his responsibility.
The Rajasthan agriculture, rural development, disaster management and relief minister had said Prime Minister Narendra Modi assigned him the seven seats in eastern Rajasthan on which he worked hard during the polls.
