In a cycle rally called by Congress, Bhargava had earlier said, "There is a minister in the central government who wears a lot of bangles. I want to appeal through media that since she is very close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she can give her bangles to him and request him to roll back the hike in fuel prices."
