In a statement here, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the anti-liquor crusader died due to the "insensitive" attitude of the Rajasthan government. "Had Rajasthan Chief Minister tried to meet him and persuaded him to end fast, Chabbra might have been saved," Gehlot said.

Rajasthan Medical and Health Minister, Rajendra Rathore visited the hospital and paid his condolences.
