Limbaiah was probably travelling to Telengana’s capital Hyderabad at about the same time that the Chief Minister of the state K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) was boarding a private jet for a 10-day visit to China.

On Wednesday morning Limbaiah, a farmer from Nizamabad who had travelled to Hyderabad was found hanging from an electric pole near a temple. The police suspect that Limbaiah joins the growing list of farmer-suicides in drought-stricken areas like Karimnagar, Khammam, Adilabad, Warangal, to name a few. One report says there were 19 suicides in 72 hours. Read our report here.

There was a controversy as the KCR was preparing to leave, but it was not about his people dying of poor crops and debts. The brouhaha was about the 50-seater Bombardier that was pressed into service to ferry the CM at a cost of Rs. 2 crore. The executive jet is known for its luxurious innards and an entertainment centre with state of the art screens.
