Thousands of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) activists took to the streets of Donkamukam town on November 2 in a massive demonstration against Indian National Congress – Assam president and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi.
The protesters accused Gogoi of holding an anti-tribal stance and obstructing regional development in Karbi Anglong. Shouting slogans such as “Gaurav Gogoi Go Back” and “Congress Down, Down,” the agitators charged that the Congress leader was “an agent of Pakistan” and even alleged that his wife draws a salary from the Pakistani government. “Gaurav Gogoi must go to jail,” several demonstrators chanted as the rally intensified.
BJYM members claimed that Gogoi has consistently opposed tribal welfare and hindered the district’s progress. “During 15 years of Congress rule, Karbi Anglong witnessed only unrest and no development,” said a local BJP youth leader addressing the crowd. The protest concluded with a massive procession through Donkamukam town, where participants pledged to continue their campaign against the Congress MP in the coming days.
