'Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma feels frustrated over success of Jodo Nyay Yatra,' says Congress

The Congress criticised Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly orchestrating an attack on the vehicles of the Congress supporters and damaging of posters, banners and hoardings relating to the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Lakhimpur on Saturday.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge while condemning the incidents of vandalism wrote on X (earlier Twitter), “we strongly condemn the shameful attack on the #BharatJodoNyayYatra vehicles and tearing of Congress party's banners and posters by BJP goons in Lakhimpur, Assam”.


He observed that during the last 10 years, the BJP has attempted to trample and demolish every right and justice guaranteed by the Constitution to the people of India. “It wants to subjugate their voices, thereby hijacking Democracy”, he said, while asserting, “Congress Party will not be cowed down by this tactic of attack and intimidation employed by the BJP Government in Assam, which is responsible for this”.

He said, the Congress party will take appropriate legal action against these BJP stooges.

Maintaining that the BJP was feeling nervous over the success of the Nyay Yatra and hence resorting to such cheap tactics, Congress general secretary in charge organization, KC Venugopal while referring to the incidents pointed out, “want more evidence of how scared #MostCorruptCMHimanta is of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra? Look at his goons vandalise our Congress posters and vehicles!”

Taunting the Assam Chief Minister for trying to show too much loyalty towards the BJP, the Congress general secretary Communications, Jairam Ramesh urged the BJP president JP Nadda, that he (Nadda) should tell Sarma that he does not need to give more proof of his loyalty for the BJP and the RSS and that the Nyay Yatra should be allowed to take the same route which was taken by Nadda himself earlier.
