'Fan' ends life over CM's resignation, Yediyurappa appeals for calm


Chamarajnagar, Jul 27 (IANS): A 35-year-old labourer allegedly ended his life by hanging after he was reportedly frustrated over the resignation of B.S. Yediyurappa from the Chief Minister's post, said the police

The police said the labourer ended his life on Monday late night.

According to the Gundlupet police, the deceased has been identified as Ravi a.k.a Rachappa, a resident of the Bommalapur village in Chamarajanagar district, located 195 KM from state capital Bengaluru.

The village, which has less than 1,000 houses, is one of the most backward in the state with a literacy rate of just over 21 per cent against the state's average of about 75.6 per cent.

The police said that Ravi was a daily wager and during weekends used to serve as a help in a small tea-stall situated in the village.

According to the prima facie investigations, the police claimed that Ravi was a great admirer of outgoing Chief Minister Yediyurappa.

"The family members are claiming that he was a die-hard fan of Yediyurappa, while other residents in the village claim that though he was the biggest fan of Yediyurappa, but he had taken some loan.

"But it is still not very clear whether he took this extreme step under which duress, as he was not literate and suicide note is not found yet, hence speculations are high in this case," the police said on the condition of anonymity to IANS.

The police added that the deceased was upset soon after Yediyurappa announced his resignation. "After Yediyurappa's announcement, he was deeply hurt and closeted himself in a nearby room for a whole day and perhaps, he may have committed suicide by hanging during mid-night," the police said, but added that the police is also investigating other angles such as debt-trap as it is learnt that he had taken some hand loan too.

Meanwhile, expressing shock over this incident, Yediyurappa tweeted that every person has to go through ups and downs in his life and for this none need to lose their precious life for this.

"I humbly appeal to my fans not to take any such extreme steps. It is not right. I am deeply hurt by Ravi's decision to end his life in such a manner. I am humbled and touched by his love, but I cannot endorse such a show of extreme love and affection towards me. It is not right on anyone's part to take such a drastic step," he said in his tweet in Kannada.

    I say it's a cowardly act, why one has to end a life for politicians, they are the most self-centred and corrupt people. It's a huge loss for the family. What on earth are people ending life for others. didn't the deceased once thought about his family prior committing such act.

    When a leader of such stature resigns, it shakes lots of people who think about this country. Where we will get such a pro-development politician who work hard for the upbringing of poor? Even I am in shock. I too am thinking........ .. .. .. ... ... ... ... of applying for CM post!

    Ravi should have died for actress Jayanti. So it would be a reason for his death. Those who don't have self respect kill themselves. A person should live for himself not for others.

    what an idiot????!!! die for the country or trying to save someone is seen as a noble sacrifice. Dying for a politician/actor/ someone else only indicates level of our consciousness / illiteracy and ignorance. There are some people who think politicians are gods, who make the country run, and emotions sometimes cross their limits and end up causing so much pain, anguish to their dependents. I feel sorry for this fellow's family. RIP.

    My heart goes out to Ravi and people like him who repose complete faith in politicians. Politicians, by and large, are unscrupulous people who enter politics only to feather their own nest. People like Ravi, uneducated as they are, are unable to see through the nefarious designs of the politicians and take it to heart when something happens to their idols. What a pity such things are happening in our country.
