Speaking at the rally, Gandhi said, "For India to progress, governments need to stop making false and unrealistic promises and instead work to help the people. There is a drought all over the country.Farmers are committing suicide, but here at India Gate Modiji is celebrating with Bollywood stars."

He added, "Who is hurt when there is selfie politics? It's the farmer, the small businessman who gets hurt. My politics is based on Mahatma Gandhi's ideology, I can never do politics of lies and false promises."
