Rahul Gandhi, returning to Assam for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, accused the state government of intimidation and obstructing event permissions. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged Rahul Gandhi to refrain from visiting Srimanta Sankardeva’s birthplace during the Ram temple consecration, asserting there’s no competition between Lord Ram and the revered Vaishnav saint. Sarma pledged deployment of commandos along sensitive routes during Rahul’s yatra on the consecration day.
Sarma emphasized that Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Batadrava during the Ram Temple consecration would misrepresent Assam. He suggested visiting the Vaishnavite monastery after the ceremony, avoiding unnecessary competition. Rahul Gandhi addressed the Assam public, highlighting perceived injustices towards the state’s youth and farmers. He criticized the government for favoring select industrialists and initiated the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ in response.
Accusing the BJP-RSS of spreading hatred and violence, Rahul asserted their agenda was diverting public funds to a handful of industrialists. The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ commenced from Kanyakumari to Kashmir last year, aims to unite the nation against perceived injustices. The political discourse intensifies as Rahul Gandhi navigates the complexities of the yatra amid resistance from the Assam government and attempts to align the narrative with broader issues of economic disparity and social injustice.
The unfolding events showcase the clash of political ideologies and the power struggle between the ruling party and the opposition. As Rahul Gandhi continues his yatra, the dynamics of public perception and political influence come into play, shaping the narrative for both the state of Assam and the national political landscape. The coming days will likely witness further interactions, confrontations, and political maneuvering as the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ unfolds in Assam.
