The former Rajasthan minister consigned to flames the body of his mother Choti Devi at Chadi village. She passed away in Jaipur yesterday due to advanced age. She was 82.
Maderna had earlier been given four days exemption from judicial custody by court to be with his family and carry out the last rites as an elder son, following which he reached the village yesterday itself.
A massive swarm of family members, friends and loyalists attended the last rites, including Revenue Minister Hemaram Mirdha and Rich Pal Mirdha (MLA), members of the Mirdha family which is another powerful clan of Jat politics in the state.
Congress state president Chandrabhan, Ask Ali Tak and various former and present MLAs also paid their last respects.
Devi is survived by her husband, Paras Ram Maderna, a veteran Congress leader.
