The death of a farmer in Boudh district on Thursday rocked the Odisha Assembly on Friday, leaving the BJD-led dispensation in a soup. 

Dharani Meher, a farmer of Jamaghati village in Boudh district, had got his token to sell his 56 quintals of paddy on January 25. Unbeknownst to his fate, he took his paddy to the mandi. But the paddy packets of the farmers including him were not procured. The angry farmers even staged a protest demonstration on February 20, but to no avail.

Over this, Dharini had been under severe mental stress. Unable to cope with the situation, he collapsed in the mandi itself.  Though he was rushed to nearby Baunsuni government hospital, the doctors there declared him received dead. 
His last rites were performed today. 

Deceased Dharani’s son Kshirod alleged his father died due to depression.

“We have taken loans to grow paddy. While the last date of paddy procurement was approaching and our paddy crops were lying in the mandi, my father was under severe mental tension,” alleged Kshirod. 

On the other hand, his paddy was procured hastily today, the last date of the procurement.

Today the Assembly started with an uproarious note with the Opposition leaders cornering the government over the farmer death issue. Finding no option left, the Speaker had to adjourn the house till 11 am. The zero hour also witnessed a similar situation in the House. 

“Before taking the extreme step, he (Dharani) had said he was under severe mental stress as money lenders were asking him to repay the loans. He had said that the government was not thinking about him. He committed suicide by consuming poison,” alleged Congress leader Tara Prasad Bahinipati.

“In spite of having token, farmers are not able to sell their paddy crops. Consequently, they are committing suicide. We have been demanding for abolishment of the token system. Instead, the power should be given to District Level Procurement Committee (DLPC) to procure paddy as earlier it was being done,” said Nauri Nayak, BJP MLA.

Responding to it, BJD MLA Amar Satpathy said, “If there are issues including farmer issue, they should discuss it with the government. People wouldn’t forgive them for the way they are disrupting the proceedings of the House.”

At a time when mystery still shrouds the death of Minister Naba Das, the Minister of State (MoS) Home, Tusharkanti Behera on Monday informed that the dismissed ASI and prime accused Gopal Das had never applied for leave citing his mental health condition.

In a written reply to a question by senior Congress leader, Narasingha Mishra regarding leave and awards to Gopal Das, the MoS said that accused Gopal had never applied for leave citing medical treatment of his psychiatric disorder and he had never submitted any representation for his transfer. However, Gopal Das remained absent from duty unauthorized from period 3.2.2014 to 3.4.2014 and for the period from 1.3.2015 to 27.6.2015.

“I had sought an answer regarding leave taken by Gopal Das and reasons cited. In its reply, the government stated that Gopal had never applied for leave for his own treatment, be it mental or any other treatment. On maximum occasions, he took leave citing the health condition of his wife. It shows that Gopal Das is not mentally ill,” said Congress leader, Narasingha Mishra.

According to Mishra, when Gopal’s family revealed before the media that he was mentally unstable, an expert team of SCB examined and stated that his mental condition was stable.

“Despite this, the state government is keen to prove Gopal Das mentally unstable. It indicates that there is some conspiracy in which some highly placed officials or members of the ruling party are involved. This needs to be probed,” Mishra added.

To a question by the Congress leader regarding the awards and number of cases investigated by Gopal Das, the MoS Home stated that the dismissed cop had performed normal duty as well as law and order duty which was assigned to him from time to time by his superiors.

Moreover, his performance on duty in the last 10 years appeared to be satisfactory. Gopal Das investigated 299 cases as an investigating officer (IO) during the last 10 years of his service period, the MoS said in his reply.
