Lallu meets kin of farmers who committed suicide

Jhansi: UP Congress president Ajay Kumar Lallu arrived in Jhansi on Wednesday without giving any prior information and met the kin of farmers who committed suicide or died unnaturally in past few months.
Lallu reached Chirgaon and proceeded to Berbai village in Tehroli tehsil and met the family of Premnarayan Raikwar, 45. Raikwar was a migrant labourer who arrived on foot during lockdown and committed suicide later.
UPCC president then went to Sehpura village in Garotha tehsil to attend ‘Shradh’ ceremony of Lokendra who had committed suicide a fortnight ago. He was accompanied by former Union minister Pradeep Jain Aditya and local party leaders.
Shiv Narayan Singh Parihar who accompanied Lallu said Lokendra had bought a tractor in 2006 which met an accident a year later. Since the driver did not have a driving licence, Lokendra was slapped a penalty of Rs 4.5 lakh which he could not pay and committed suicide under pressure. The Congress leaders then went to Burgapur village in Mauranipur where a farmer Brijlal Ahirwar had died a couple of days ago as he could not repay a loan of Rs 11 lakh. Lallu announced that he would take the responsibility of the studies of one son of the deceased and said suicide is not a solution to problems and assured the party will help them in every way.
