On Thursday, Himanta Biswa Sarma took a swipe at the Congress's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' led by party leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that Gandhi's Yatra was a big boost for the BJP because he had chosen a very, very unfortunate time. The Assam CM further said that when Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha was going on, the former Congress chief decided to come to Assam, and he offended the sentiment of all Ram devotees.
"Rahul Gandhi's Yatra was a big boost for BJP. Because he has chosen a time which was a very, very unfortunate time. When Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha was going on, he decided to come to Assam and offended the sentiment of all Ram devotees, Himanta said.
"Earlier people used to hear in the newspaper or television that they had refused the invitation. But on the day of Pran Pratishtha, when people saw Rahul Gandhi in the street of Assam and people clearly realised that he is boycotting the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, I think the downhill journey of Congress began from that day at least in Assam. And after that, you have seen what is going on, what is happening every day. I am sure that barring 4-5 MLAs, I do not think in days to come, maybe six months, one year, two years, other people will remain in Congress party," he further stated.
