Addressing the crowd he said how Virat and Anushka both earned fame and money in India but how they chose to spend a huge amount of money in Italy and not in their own country. He during his speech said, "Ram, Krishna, Yudhishthira married in India. All you people have either been married or will be married in India. No one goes to a foreign land to get married like they did. He earned his money and fame in India and took it abroad."

He even questioned their patriotism and said, “This vindicates that Bharat Bhumi does not mean anything to him and this is not rashtra-bhakti or deshbhakti.”
