Had Once Contested an Election

41-year-old Gajendra had once contested an election. He had won only around 3,000 votes as a Samajwadi Party candidate in the 2003 state polls, and lost his deposit.

 

Was it damage of his crops that alone is responsible for the suicide of Gajendra Singh at AAP rally in Delhi on Wednesday or his family shunning him had compounded his woes? Was it a case of keeping his political ambitions too high?

It is a matter of police investigations but the media reports from India  the forty one -year-old farmer as a colourful and emotional man.

Gajendra Singh, the farmer wearing colourful turban and beard and moustaches resembling a typical Rajasthani man, was an expert in the art of tying turbans which added to his income from farming. With this unique talent, Singh was a familiar face at political rallies and tourism fairs in the area.

He could tie turban very quickly, several times in a minute. He would charge fee for tying turbans at political rallies and tourism fairs and also participate in turban competitions.

“At political rallies, he was a face known for indulging into emotionally charged acts to attract the attention,” a senior police officer told a leading TV channel from India  quoting Gajendra Singh’s friend. One unconfirmed report also said he had tried to commit suicide by pouring kerosene earlier too.

A resident of Nangal Jhamalwaran in Dausa district of Rajasthan, Singh was living in Jaipur after being asked by his father to leave home, as he mentioned in the suicide note. Gajendra’s father was angry with him for not concentrating on farming and taking care of his wife and three kids, say official sources quoting his family circles.

Gajendra was related to sarpanch of his village and was close to a prominent local Congress leader of Dausa.

As per a leading daily of India, Gajendra Singh along with his two brothers and father owned 17 bighas of land, he himself owned eight bighas. Gajendra lost 24 per cent wheat crop and 20 per cent of gram crop in the untimely rain and hailstorm. The family could not get any compensation as the minimum damage has to be atleast 33 per cent to get government relief, according to the new rules.
