The comedian alleged that the absent celebrities did not want to offend government officials as it would affect their source of income.

He said,

"We were almost 30. Today, how many are we? It will tell you some people can't bite the hands that feed them. You can understand now that those who claim to be neutral were not neutral in the end but we did it in the past and we are doing it today."

DKB also explained his reasons for attending the vigil, citing the loss of lives due to power outages at hospitals.

He stated,

"It's not only about me. A lady lost her child because of Dumsor. It annoys me when I hear people say the light has been on for 7 years. So what? Shouldn't it be on anymore? We don't celebrate mediocrity."
