Congress on Sunday claimed that the vehicle of senior party leader Jairam Ramesh was attacked at Jumugurihat in Sunitpur by an "unruly BJP crowd" who shouted "anti-BJNY slogans" and tore off the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra stickers from the windshield.

"My vehicle was attacked a few minutes ago at Jumugurihat, Sunitpur by an unruly BJP crowd who also tore off the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra stickers from the windshield," wrote the Congress leader on X post.

"They threw water and shouted anti-BJNY slogans. But we kept our composure, waved to the hooligans, and sped away. This is undoubtedly the Assam CM @himantabiswa’s doing. We are not intimidated and will soldier on," read the post.

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate also claimed that the crowd in Jumgurihat attacked a party's cameraman as well as other members of the social media team, including two women.

"These goons also tore the sticker of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from the car of General Secretary Jairam Ramesh and threw water on it," she wrote on X, accusing Assam CM of being behind the attack.

"Himanta, stop these fox-like maneuvers and let Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra continue - you and your goons cannot stop it," she added.

"We informed the police and the additional superintendent of police is at the location now," she added.

She said Nyay Yatra stickers from his vehicle were torn out and the attackers attempted to put a BJP flag on the vehicle, nearly breaking the rear glass.
