I Am Guilty, Blame Me: Kejriwal Bows Head Over Farmer’s Suicide

Arvind Kejriwal apologised for not calling off the event and admitted that his making a speech had been a mistake.

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 was to deliver an hour long speech but I wrapped it up in 10-15 mins. I think that was my mistake. Probably I should not have spoken. If that has hurt anyone’s sentiments I would like to apologise.

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.
