The controversy around Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is refusing to die down. A day after Congress workers tried to gherao the BJP’s headquarters, the party is set to protest in many states on Tuesday over “planned” disruptions by the “BJP” to Gandhi’s yatra in Assam.
The yatra, which has already travelled five of the seven northeastern states, is scheduled to visit parts of Guwahati and Kamrup today, with a night halt at Bishnupur. But while it managed to pass off peacefully in Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur and Nagaland, there was high drama as it traversed North Lakhimpur and Sonitpur in BJP-governed Assam on January 20 and 21, respectively.
