"@narendramodi ji, today is the last day of 2022. You said that by 2022... every farmer's income will be doubled. Every Indian will have a house. Every house will get 24x7 electricity. This didn't happen... ... But every Indian knows that BJP has cheated him!" Kharge tweeted in Hindi.

Congress leaders like Kanhaiya Kumar, Nana Patole, KC Venugopal, Ashok Chavan and Imran Pratapgarhi were also present at the occasion. Kharge while addressing the gathering said, "I want to aware youths, women, Dalits, Bhramans community that we should come together and make our Constitution and democracy safe. BJP and RSS are destroying the Constitution, they are separating people on the basis of caste and religion. We want your support, if you won't support us then our democracy is in danger."

Kharge added, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to give free rice now they extend it till December 2023 then to May till the election after that they stop it and say we gave free rations for a long time now you pay for it".
