The Congress on January 11 said the Assam government has denied night-stay permissions at public grounds for its leaders in two districts during the ensuing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
Addressing a press conference, Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia said the party is now looking for alternative arrangements of private farmlands for stationing the containers, where senior national leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, will halt for a night.
"We sought a school ground at Gogamukh in Dhemaji district for only the night stay by parking our container vehicles. The permission was initially given, but at the last moment it was withdrawn," he said.
