It was during the 1998 elections to the Lok Sabha that I had a chance to visit Baghpat, just around a two hour drive out of the bustling national capital Delhi.
Located in Western Uttar Pradesh, Baghpat was the citadel of Chaudhury Charan Singh, briefly the Prime Minister, but a tall leader of the farmers, specially the Jats, an influential farming community in North India.
