During the meeting, Prithviraj Sathe spoke to Media about the growing dissatisfaction among the public with the Narendra Modi-led Union government after the Lok Sabha elections.

People are becoming more aware of the Modi and RSS’s political agenda, and it’s clear they are not optimistic about the direction in which the government is heading."

Sathe further criticized the Union government for its handling of Sonam Wangchuk's detention, which occurred just a day before Gandhi Jayanti.
