The Congress has claimed that its leaders, including Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh, were targeted by BJP supporters during the Assam leg of the Manipur to Maharashtra Nyay Yatra. However, the BJP claimed that Gandhi was nervous as slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Modi, Modi” were raised in his presence.

This is undoubtedly the work of the Chief Minister of Assam. We are not afraid and will continue to fight,” Ramesh said.

AICC general secretary KC Venugopal said, “Complete anarchy is being displayed in Assam. On the entire Yatra route, the CM has deployed his goons to attack the Yatra and disrupt our peaceful march for justice. “He is completely wrong to think that this will scare us. If anything, it has given us more strength to ensure his and Narendra Modi’s defeat,” he said.
