On Tuesday, he addressed an election rally in Hyderabad's Nampally constituency. He said his Bharat Jodo Yatra changed the Indian politics.

"No body was using the word Mohabbat in politics before Bharat Jodo Yatra. We promoted love in politics," he said, adding that India showcased love and brotherhood, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS were responsible for the hatred in the country.

"I am fighting Modi, the hatred he had in his heart and his anger and that's why have 24 cases in different states. For the first time, in a defamation case I was sentenced for two years. They snatched my house. I told them that I don't live in a building but in the hearts of crores of people," he said.
