GUWHATI, Jan 22: Rahul Gandhi, who is presently in Assam after his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' entered the state, on Monday claimed he was not allowed to visit Batadrava Than - the birthplace of saint Srimanta Sankardeva, a social reformer of Assam.
Meanwhile authorities said they had allowed a local MP, and an MLA to visit the temple.
Congress alleged that its leaders were "attacked" during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra by BJP supporters, with Rahul Gandhi, who was heckled by a crowd chanting "Jai Shri Ram" and "Modi, Modi" slogans, asserting that his party is neither scared of the prime minister nor the Assam chief minister.
