Assam CM Himanta urges Rahul not to go
There is a war of words between the Congress and the chief minister. Addressing a press conference here today, the chief minister criticised Rahul Gandhi. Today, the Chief Minister appealed to Rahul Gandhi not to visit Batadrava on the day of the birth of Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha tomorrow.
“I request Rahul Gandhi not to go to Batadrava tomorrow. It would be nice to come to Batadrava after the Ram temple pran pratishtha celebrations are over. There should be no comparison between Batadrava and Ram temples. This is my request. He may be going to come even today, feeling a little sad about choosing the day tomorrow. ’’
“The whole country is waiting for the day of the birth of the Ram temple but Rahul Gandhi will go to the Batardrava Satra. I asked the people of the satra committee if Rahul Gandhi was invited. But they have not invited. Dhing, Nagaon, Morigaon, Jagiroad and Batardrava have 60 per cent Muslims and 40 Hindus. A sensitive area. But on the one hand the soul of the Ram temple will be established on the other hand Rahul Gandhi will be present in the satra. Why are you trying to disturb the public? The Hindu man does not go to see Rahul. The Congress should have understood that there are Hindu people.
But the Congress doesn’t talk about the chief minister. Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Bhupen Bora said, “Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Batadrwa was scheduled a long time ago. We cannot cancel even if the chief minister says so. The Assam Congress president also alleged that if he saw the flag of Bharat Jodo Yatra, he would not give oil to the car.
