Chief minister Raje's assembly constituency, Jhalrapatan, falls under the Jhalawar district, and her son, Dushyant Singh, is the present Lok Sabha MP of the Jhalawar-Baran Lok Sabha constituency.
Addressing a gathering before the start of a 100-km mega 'Kisan Nyay rally' in Baran district, Pilot said, "It is unfortunate that the government did not console the victims' families and instead rubbed salt into their wounds by saying that personal reasons forced the farmers to commit suicide."
This was the reason why he had decided to start his rally from Baran, Pilot had said earlier.
Claiming that one more farmer committed suicide in the state yesterday, he said that it signified that farmers had no trust in a committee formed by the state government to write off their loans.
