Congress on Sunday slammed the BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Jyotiraditya Scindia's decision to continue the rally after the farmer's death.

Congress accused the BJP of being insensitive adding that the leaders continued to address the public meeting even after the death of the farmer.

Madhya Pradesh Congress tweeted a video from the rally where the farmer can be seen lying on the chair lifeless while speeches can be heard in the background.

"Farmer's death in BJP's rally, —speeches continued nonetheless; Today, a farmer died in BJP program, but the shameless leaders of BJP did not stop the program. The dead body of the farmer was lying and the shameless BJP kept applauding. Shivraj ji, Do not fear the public, fear God ..!"

A farmer reportedly had died of a heart attack during a public meeting in Madhya Pradesh where BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Jyotiraditya Scindia was scheduled to speak, officials said.

The 80-year-old farmer passed away while a public meeting was underway in the state's Khandwa district on Sunday.

The rally was held ahead of Madhya Pradesh bypolls scheduled on November 3.
