Social activist Anna Hazare today said people hold the key to teach the government a lesson and stressed that they needed to understand its importance.

Addressing a public gathering in Rajasthan's Govindgarh town today, Hazare expressed concerns over the problems faced by the farmers in the country, and hit out at the Centre and state government over the issue.

"People have a key and it is important to understand its importance. The key is capable enough to overthrow any government or organisation and to teach a lesson," he said

In Jaipur, Hazare said he had been travelling across the country to interact with farmers, raise awareness among them about their rights and take their feedback to lodge a protest.
