A 65-year-old farmer collapsed and died at an agricultural market in Madhya Pradesh after waiting in the scorching heat for four days for his crop to be weighed up and sold.
Opposition Congress lambasted the BJP government over the incident which took place at Lateri Mandi in Vidisha district two days ago.
The deceased farmer was identified as Moolchand Maina, resident of Bijukhedi village in the district.
"My father had come to the Mandi to sell chana (gram) four days earlier and was waiting for the produce to be weighed and sold. He collapsed on Thursday morning while still waiting for his turn," said Narmada Prasad, his son.'
