GUWAHATI The Congress on Saturday said miscreants tore up posters and banners welcoming Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra before the convoy of vehicles on the Manipur-to-Mumbai march entered North Lakhimpur town in northeastern Assam.
The miscreants also chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ while vandalising yatra campaign materials on Friday night, the party alleged.
“When we were in power, we respected the BJP and their leaders when they came to Assam. But today, they are attacking us out of the fear that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will strike a chord among the people, they are fearing us,” senior Congress spokesperson Joy Prakash Das told presspersons in North Lakhimpur.
