The senior freedom fighter said, that there are over 12 lakh farmers in India who don't get any relief from governments. The agriculture sector is reeling under poverty. The rally in March was being held to draw the Centre's attention to the plight of farmers of the country, he added.  

Reacting to statements on changing the Constitution, Anna said," Our Constitution is good enough as-is. It gives everyone a fair chance at life. Why change it? The Constitution cannot be changed by anyone".
