Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, KC Venugopal, and Kanhaiya Kumar were booked by Assam Police on Tuesday over charges of violence, provocation, damage to public property, and assault on police personnel. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma directed the registration of a case against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly provoking the crowd during his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.' The clash between BJP-led Assam government and Congress escalated as workers were stopped from entering Guwahati, leading to clashes. Gandhi, in response, criticized Sarma, labeling him one of the most corrupt chief ministers. The political tension revolves around the yatra and its impact on Assam's political landscape.
