As soon as news of Singh’s death reached the CM, she rushed the EHCC hospital where he was undergoing treatment.. Raje stayed at the hospital for an hour and was seen consoling his family members.
“Demise of Singh is a personal loss for me. I worked with him for a long time in public life. He was always with me in every crisis. Singh was leader of masses whose dedication, honesty and spirit of serving others should be followed. He also played active role and raised voice for Jat reservation in Bharatpur-Dholpur. His death is personal and organisational loss,” said a statement quoting Raje as saying.
After paying tributes, Raje reached Bharatpur where Singh was cremated. Raje poured drops of Ganga jal in his mouth and prayed salvation of the departed soul. Recalling Singh’s contribution, Raje said with his guidance and positive support, many flagship schemes of the state government got momentum and were implemented successfully. Rajasthan will miss him, she said.
