New Delhi, Apr 22 (IBNS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday slammed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal over the death of a farmer, who committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree during a rally hosted by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) at Jantar Mantar here, and said it was a 'conspiracy'.

"This is a conspiracy... Arvind Kejriwal, you knew he has dead. You were present there at the spot. But you continued with your speech," BJP leader Sambit Patra said.

"How can you continue a rally and deliver speech when he was trying to commit suicide?" Patra said.

The farmer has been identified as Gajender Singh Rajput. He was a farmer from Rajasthan.

Kejriwal blamed the police for the incident.

"The incidet that occurred in front of us was shameful," Kejriwal said while addressing the rally.

"The police should have saved him," he said.

Gajender hung himself from the tree and committed suicide.

After the man fell down from the tree, he was taken to a hospital.

In the hospital, doctors declared him dead.

The AAP hosted the rally to protest against Centre's Land Acquisition Ordinance.
