If that process fails..if independence does not come, I am preparing an army for armed struggle. There is no difference with Mahatma Gandhi."
• The leaders of those days had only single goal. Mahatma Gandhi was a great soldier who ignited the feeling of independence and aspiration in every Indian and led the whole India towards the freedom struggle regardless of caste, religion and class in India, where there are many races, religions, different cultures, different languages and foods.
 Gandhi was a great man who fought for independence as an amalgamation of many cultures.
• Whether Gandhi weaves a charkha, spins yarn, cleans slums with a broom, initiates a fast, does salt satyagraha, whatever he does is a message. It was a miracle.
• Every word, every step, every action of Gandhi was practical.
• Jawahar Lal Nehru, Vallabh Bhai Patel, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad were inspired by Gandhis ideology and became active in the freedom struggle.

• Lal Bahadur Shastri who was a disciple of Gandhi brilliantly gave the slogan Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.
• We must not remain silent; we must condemn evil. Criticize the mistake. Praise and encourage the good. Only then is the society will be healthy.
• What is happening today.. "Jai Jawan" prophesied by Shastri garu.. is being crushed and burning in Agnipath.
• “Jai Kisan.. farmer works hard and perishes without getting MSP to his crops. Many farmer are committing suicides.
• Without preventing these, vicious propaganda is being carried out.
• It is not permanent.. just a temporary phase.
• Intellectuals should come forward and condemn this evil everywhere.
• On behalf of our state and on behalf of our people, I am taking leave once again and pay my sincere respects to the great leader Mahatma Gandhi.
Jai Telangana... Jai Bharat
