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

Surprised that a few speak about Harda tax. But why are development projects stalled? This has badly hit progress of state
Neither I will sit peacefully sit nor will I let the robbers sit peacefully, until all the work is finished.
Those who have looted the country for 70 years, their days are gone now and they will have to return everything.
We have increased funds being allotted to the armed personnel. This has benefited them and their families immensely.

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.
