Two days after farmer Gajendra Singh from Rajasthan hanged himself from a tree in full public glare at an AAP rally in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal apologised for not calling off the event and admitted that his making a speech was a “mistake”.

I am guilty. Blame me. I feel the rally should have been called off. But please focus on the real issue of the farmers and desist from politicking. Whoever is guilty hang him but the focus of the debate should be on why the farmers are committing suicide.

– Arvind Kejriwal
