War of words in Assam: Himanta Sarma says will arrest Rahul after Lok Sabha polls; Rahul dares police to file more FIRs

Tensions escalated in Guwahati on Tuesday when clashes erupted between Congress workers and the police following the denial of permission for Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to take its main routes into the city. The confrontation ensued after the Assam government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, directed the yatra to avoid the city and utilize the Guwahati bypass instead. The police intervened to prevent the yatra from entering the city, leading to protests from Congress workers. Visuals from the scene depicted numerous Congress supporters, many wielding party flags, engaging in altercations with law enforcement officers and attempting to breach barricades, all while Rahul Gandhi observed from a distance. #BharatJodoNyayYatra #CongressProtest #RahulGandhi #GuwahatiClash #AssamGovernment #PoliticalTensions #Roadblocks #YatraProgress #AssamPolice #MediaConference #ObstaclesInYatra #PoliticalProtest #AssamPolitics #GuwahatiEntryDenial #TargetedAttacks #PoliticalRally #AssamAuthorities #ConfrontationIncident #YatraRouteChange #PressConference ~PR.152~ED.194~
