In a shocking incident in Uttar Pradesh , fashion photographer Sanchita Sharan allegedly committed suicide after receiving information that her MBA graduate husband Harish Bagesh hanged himself in a hotel room in Varanasi. While the reason for Harish’s alleged suicide remains a mystery, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav resorted to using the couple’s tragic end for his political gains. Akhilesh Yadav claimed that 28-year-old Harish Bagesh committed suicide due to the pressure of losing his job and failing to get another.
Yadav went on to drag the ruling BJP into this to claim that the couple’s suicide is an affidavit of BJP’s failure in Uttar Pradesh and that it is not concerned about unemployment or inflation. In an X post on 8 th July, the Samajwadi Party leader posted, “After receiving the news of the husband’s suicide due to the pressure of losing his job and not being able to get another, we received the sad news of the wife also committing suicide. Do we need any bigger affidavit than this for the failure of the BJP government? The BJP is only concerned with the politics of power, not with the pain and suffering of the people, unemployment or inflation.
This is a humble request to the people who are frustrated in the BJP rule, that they should not take any such step because suicide is not a solution, the solution is to change the BJP government.” Similar claims were made by several social media users and opposition-friendly ‘journalists’ including.
