Way all parties are jumping to exploit poor farmer suicide at #AAPKisanRally typifies that old Hindi TV line: garib ki chita par roti sekna — Shekhar Gupta (@ShekharGupta) April 22, 2015

NEW DELHI: Political parties began their blame game soon after a farmer committed suicide during AAP's rally in Delhi against the controversial land acquisition bill. The dramatic death of Gajendra Singh, a father of three, immediately turned into a political drama , with the Aam Aadmi Party blaming Delhi Police and the BJP and the Congress attacking Kejriwal and the AAP.AAP leaders accused the police of being mute spectators who did nothing to save a precious life and not acting in time. AAP leader also blamed Modi's BJP, saying the controversial land bill and their failure to look after farmers was the reason for the suicide.In a sarcastic comment, senior AAP leader Ashotosh told reporters, "Should the Delhi CM have climbed the tree? Next time will tell the CM to climb the tree."Meanwhile, the BJP and Congress attacked the Delhi chief minister for continuing with the rally even after news of the suicide spread.The farmer from Rajasthan committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in full public view just before Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was to speak at the AAP rally in Delhi even as appeals from those around to desist from taking the extreme step had fallen on deaf ears.Gajendra Singh, from Dausa in Rajasthan, climbed a neem tree in Jantar Mantar, a stone's throw away from Parliament, the venue of anti-land bill rally, climbed a tree, put his "gamcha" (towel) around his neck and also tied it to a branch.In a bid to apparently draw attention to the plight of farmers who have suffered losses in the recent rains, he was seen raising slogans. AAP volunteers shouted and appealed to him to come down. A couple of them even climbed the tree and tried to bring him down by undoing the knot.But before they could reach him, Singh tied himself to a branch and his body could be seen hanging still. When the volunteers reached him and started untying the knot from the branch, it fell.After volunteers rushed him to the nearby Ram Manohar Lohia hospital, the rally went ahead and the chief minister addressed the gathering. When he wound up his address, he said he was going to the hospital to look up Singh.Gajendra Singh, a resident of Nangal Jhamarwada village in Dausa, left a suicide note written in Hindi stating that he has three children and had been disowned by his father after their crops were destroyed in last month's rains and hailstorm.He also mentioned in the suicide note that he had nothing to look forward to in life. He ended the note with "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Rajasthan". The phone numbers of his family were also scribbled on the piece of paper.RML doctors tried to revive him but shortly later declared him "brought dead". Dr Sunil Saxena said, "The farmer was brought dead."The farmer folded his hands right before committing suicide.

Police may not be in our control but at least there should be a semblance of humanity among them. I am rushing to the hospital with Manish Sisodia."By then, Delhi Congress leader Ajay Maken had visited the hospital and remarked that both the AAP and police should have taken steps to avoid the suicide.At his party office, BJP spokesman Sambit Patra asked: "Why didn't the AAP leaders stop the farmer from committing suicide?"Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi also visited the hospital. He later told the media: "We are with the farmer's family. We will help them."The farmer's body was later sent to Lady Hardinge Hospital for postmortem. Home minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Delhi Police commissioner BS Bassi and ordered a probe into the incident.Earlier, Kejriwal vowed to organize farmers all over the country on the issue. Modi had betrayed the trust of the farmers after taking their vote and forming a government, Kejriwal told the protesters.
