The farmer’s suicide has created a massive uproar after a political blame game began over the incident. While Kejriwal had earlier blamed the Delhi police for not rescuing Singh, other parties like the BJP and the Congress has targeted Kejriwal’s party for continuing the rally even after Singh’s body was brought down and taken to the hospital.
