Addressing the gathering, Kejriwal asked Farrukhabad voters: “Tell me had you known that Khurshid would say that he would even lay his life for Sonia Gandhi (the Congress president) instead of laying it for the country, would you have voted for him.” The crowd shouted a big ‘No’.
- The rally was named ‘Chalo Farrukhabad’ and the theme was ‘Farrukhabad Kiska (who does Farrukhabad belong to?).
- People were carrying tricolours all over the venue and a giant double-bedsheet sized tricolour fluttered across the venue all through the event.
- “We have two objectives -one to expose the corrupt and make people aware, and second, make people come out of their fear against such people,” said Kejriwal.
- The event began with ‘Vande Matram’ and concluded with ‘Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak Jai Hey’.
- The speakers termed all political parties the same “helping each other secretly.”
- Kejriwal asked people of Farrukhabad to not vote for Salman Khurshid in the 2014 assembly elections.

Kejirval said "I want to tell Khurshid that we have come to Farrukhabad and will be returning tonight. If he can do anything then let him do. Who is he trying to threaten?"
