The rally passed through New Road, Kanthal Chauraha, Sati Gate and reached Gopal Mandir where the people were addressed by all Congress leaders. While addressing the crowd, state-in-charge Mukul Wasnik said that every person is being affected by inflation on a daily basis. Food items, cooking gas, and electricity have also become more costly than a common man can afford.

He further said that the BJP government only talks about the poor before the elections and seems to have absolutely no control over inflation, all that they are capable of is gaining people's votes by tricking the common man but this useless BJP government has absolutely no control over inflation.

The rally was held under the leadership of city Congress president Mahesh Soni and district Congress president Kamal Patel, all India Congress general secretary and state in-charge Mukul Wasnik, former minister Jitu Patwari, former minister Bala Bachchan, former minister Kamleshwar Patel, MLA Dilip Gurjar, MLA Ramlal Malviya, MLA Murli Morwal, MLA Mahesh Parmar, MLA Vishal Patel, former MLA Dr Batuk Shankar Joshi were present alongside many senior party members.
