00:00 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra has faced significant obstacles
00:15 during its course in Assam.
00:17 The planned visit to Badr Dev Thaan in Nagaon, an important pilgrimage site associated with
00:22 Vaishnavite reformer Sant Shri Mantra Shankar Dev, was thwarted by barricades and police
00:27 intervention.
00:28 This created a scenario where Rahul Gandhi and other leaders found themselves engaged
00:32 in discussions with local authorities amid crowds of supporters.
00:36 The timing of this obstruction holds particular significance as the president of the Thaan
00:39 Management Committee had already communicated to Rahul Gandhi that he would be permitted
00:44 entry only after 3pm due to the expected influx of devotees in the morning, gathering to commemorate
00:51 the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
00:54 Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had also suggested Rahul to visit the shrine only after 3pm to
01:00 avoid any perceived competition.
01:02 Despite the challenges, Rahul remained on the road surrounded by supporters singing
01:06 devotional songs, questioning the police about the rationale behind the blockade.
01:11 The situation reflected a complex interplay of politics, religion and local sentiments.
01:16 After some negotiations, only two Assamese leaders, Gaurav Gogoi and Seema Muni Bora were
01:21 only allowed to proceed in the temple while Rahul had still waited outside.
01:26 This episode underscored the intricate web of cultural and political dynamics present
01:31 in Assam.
01:32 Later, as the yatra moved towards Jaggi Road in Morigaon district, it faced another disruption.
01:37 Nagaon MP Pradyut Bodolai raised concerns about a crowd wielding saffron flags along
01:42 on their route demanding assurance from the local administration.
01:46 This incident further gave the Congress Party some additional points to question the ruling
01:50 BJP and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on what it actually wanted from Rahul Gandhi.
01:55 Later on, after the Assam saga, Rahul Gandhi decided to halt the yatra in Assam and move
02:00 to the next state, Meghalaya.
02:02 The convoy entered Nongpur to commence the Meghalaya leg of the yatra.
02:05 However, the Congress Party is now enraged at the BJP for the mismanagement and mishaps
02:10 in its Assam leg of the Bharat Jodhu Nihal Yatra.
02:26 "No, no, no, no."
02:27 "No, no, no, no."
02:27 "No, no, no, no."
