Gandhi said he was ready to pay any price for speaking the truth. He added the bungalow was given to him by the people of the country and he stayed there for 19 years. "I don't want to stay. No problem that the place where I lived for 19 years has been snatched from me," Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi, sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were also present there.
