Ajmer/Nagaur, Oct. 26 -- Amid reports of election-related violence and tension, villagers presented Rs.25 lakh, collected through voluntary contributions, to a female candidate who lost the sarpanch election in Bhadora gram panchayat of Mundwa panchayat samiti in Rajasthan's Nagaur district. Chidi Devi, 45, a resident of Modi village, received 1,155 votes, losing to Girija Sandhu, who polled 1,317 votes, by a margin of 162. Following the results, villagers held a meeting, pooled contributions and presented the money to her at her home, honouring her with garlands and a traditional safa.

"Whether one gets a position or not, the support and affection of the entire village are the greatest wealth in life."...
