'Don't Cremate Me Till Devendra Fadnavis Comes': Maharashtra Farmer's Suicide Note
A debt-ridden farmer hung himself from a tree in Maharashtra's Solapur district 400 km from Mumbai, where Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced a loan waiver last week in an attempt to end the ongoing farmers' agitation. But Dhanaji Chandrakant Jadhav, 45, made sure he wasn't going to be just another figure in a state where 11 farmers commit suicide every day. In a note that the police say he left behind, Jadhav said he should not be cremated "till Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis comes here".
