Nagpur: The farmer who attempted suicide at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rally in front of Kasturchand Park on Tuesday died on Thursday, doctors said. Minutes after consuming pesticide, the farmer — Pundalik Thakre , 50, of Wardha district — had mentioned to the AAP members that he is facing a lot of trouble due to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Limited (MSEDCL). But MSEDCL officials denied any such charges. An AAP member had handed over Thakre’s personal belongings like a watch, medicine, some documents including a complaint letter and a compensation proposal to MSEDCL, to the police. With this tragedy, Thakre became the second farmer to commit suicide during AAP rally in same year. Earlier Gajendra Singh , a farmer from Rajasthan, had hanged himself from a tree in Delhi in April. Dean of Mayo Hospital MP Parchand said, “Thakre who was bought here after consumption of OP poison from AAP rally expired at around 9.30am. He was on ventilator from the night he was admitted. We tried taking all sorts of precaution but his condition was critical through out.” Before his death, Thakre met his nephew Rahul Kadu in the morning and mentioned that he is going to be a part of AAP rally in sometime. Thakre was currently residing at Dighori, Nagpur district, along with his wife and two sons. Since last two years he was very upset with the system, Kadu said. Kadu said, “My uncle had taken a huge loan. He constructed a fish pond on his three acres land in his village in Wardha district. He used to make frequent visits to his village. After an electric pole fell into his pond, it caused lot of destruction and ever since he has been struggling with MSEDCL to get over the loss. All the fish died and his farm lost the electric supply. After running pillar to post my uncle was given a negligible amount as compensation by MSEDCL that too after fighting for two and half years.” He said, “Often my uncle used go into depression and talk about repaying the loan. In last three years had no scope for crop cultivation. So there was no way he could make money and undo the loss.” Vidarbha convener of AAP Devendra Wankhede expressed grief over the farmer’s death saying the incident has shattered the whole farmers’ community. He said, “Government has been investing in unwanted things. We don’t need Metro Rail at present; we need the government to have 100% dedication in improving the lives of farmers, that’s the urgency.” Wankhede, who was attended Thakre’s funeral at his native place Shirpur in Wardha district, said, “Some villagers have just informed me that some MSEDCL officials visited Thakre’s farm yesterday itself and repaired the whole power supply connection.” Clearing their side, an MSEDCL official said, “Due to heavy storm on June 18, 2012, a pole had leaned towards Thakre’s farm. The next day a car accidentally dashed to the pole, making it fall over his land. After eight days Thakre had written a letter to MSEDCL to get back the connection.” “After 11 months MSEDCL had repaired the poles and restored power. I accept due to our negligence it took so many months to restore power supply,” the official said. Due to MSEDCL apathy, Thakre had moved district consumer forum. Kadu said “As per the directives of consumer forum , MSEDCL had given a compensation of Rs30,980 to Thakre on December 17, 2014.” TIMELINE December 15 * 4.15 pm: Pundalik Thakre, a 50-year-old farmer from Wardha district, attempts suicide by drinking pesticide near Vidhan Bhavan, during a rally taken out by Aam Aadmi Party 4.45pm: AAP volunteers take him to mayo Hospital for treatment at around 4.45pm * 6 pm: He is admitted to the ICU.
