Regarding this incident, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that farmers are attacked, they are killed. We have become accustomed to democracy but now we have got dictatorship. Now it is the government that is attacking the farmers. They are cut like grass. In which the names of BJP Union Minister and his son are mentioned. Yet no action is taken. The postmortem is also not done properly. We tell the government to let democracy run, do not close the safety valve, otherwise trouble will arise. We want to give the farmers the confidence that no minister's son can crush them. We are going to carry a message of hope.

Rahul Gandhi was accompanied by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Punjab Chief Minister Charan Jit Channy, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Badhel, and Congress general secretaries KC Venu Gopal and Randeep Singh Sarjewala. The ruling BJP said it may have forgotten the crisis and the post-19 Sikh massacre.

Why is it that even though Khainai has been registered against him? Laxmisinh then said that it could happen only after getting enough evidence. At the time, reporters said that Laxmisinh had only remained silent when the video clearly showed the incident and did not reply.
