Addressing a fund raiser meeting for the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra Wednesday, the Rajasthan Congress President alleged the BJP is scared of Rahul Gandhi and his yatra.
The Manipur-Maharashtra Nyay Yatra, being led by Rahul, went through Assam from January 18 to 25, during which Congress MP had alleged that Sarma was the 'most corrupt CM of India'.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said the party wanted to organise public meetings in certain places, but due to school examinations, the permission was not granted.
This comes a day after Trinamool Congress chief and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s announcement that her party will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls independently in West Bengal.
Alleged acts of violence took place while Congress supporters and leaders broke barricades and clashed with police personnel in their bid to enter Guwahati. FIR also filed against other leaders.
This comes hours after Congress MP's yatra was reportedly stopped from entering Guwahati, prompting incensed party workers to smash barricades and clash with police.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier said that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, would not be permitted to enter the city to prevent traffic jams.
Rahul’s visit to shrine of Assam saint-scholar Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankardev triggered a controversy over his plans to pay obeisance during Ram Lalla’s consecration in Ayodhya.
Gandhi, along with other Congress leaders, was stopped by authorities at Haiboragaon and not allowed to visit the Sri Sri Sankar Dev Satra temple in Assam's Nagaon district.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
