Here are the top five things that he said during the rally:

Earlier, in the rally in Srinagar he had attacked Congress and said the party didn’t even note difficulties our ex-servicemen faced. They made a joke out of OROP, it was implemented once we assumed office.
He also added, times have changed, the government in the national capital has changed. Indian soldiers will no more tolerate attacks but will now reciprocate. On demonetisation he said, some still haven’t come to senses after the announcement, they can say things, call me names but I don’t mind I will fight and work for poor.
