From Gohpur, he will go to Bishwanath and Sonitpur districts for roadshows the next day. He will then go to Nagaon district and stay the night at Rupohi.
He is going to visit the Borduwa Sattra in Batadrava, which is where the Vaishnav saint Srimanta Sankardeva was born. After that, he will do a tour and hold a meeting on a street corner before going to Nongpho in Meghalaya to hold a public meeting and stay the night.
The yatra will enter Guwahati on January 23 in Kamrup (Metro), then in Kamrup (Rural). There are no public meetings planned in either district.
The yatra will also go through Nalbari district on the same day. There will be a meeting on a street corner there before going to Barpeta district, where Gandhi and his group will stay the night.
The Yatra will start in Barpeta and go to Bongaigaon, North Salmara, and Dhubri the next day. It will stop for the night at Gauripur.
It was planned to hold a public meeting in Gauripur before the yatra went through different parts of the district on its way to Sagolia at Boxirhat, which is on the border between Assam and West Bengal.
According to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Congress will be able to hold the Yatra because “all tourists were welcome” in the state. This was said on Thursday.
The Congress had earlier said that they were not allowed to stop for the night and park their trucks at a school ground and a college.
After being asked, Sarma said that approval could not be given for schools and colleges that are in session.
