JAIPUR : A Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) delegation will submit a memorandum to the Chief Vigilance Commissioner in New Delhi on October 14 to demand a probe into the alleged mining scam in Rajasthan, state Congress president Sachin Pilot said on Tuesday.
The delegation will be led by Pilot, ex-chief minister Ashok Gehlot and AICC general secretary and state incharge Gurudas Kamat.
Pilot alleged that the state government was bent upon covering up the irregularities committed in the allotment of 653 mines in the state.
