Sarma also slammed Gandhi for the latter’s charge that he was not allowed to go to Batadrava Than, a monastery linked to saint-reformer Sankardeva. He said the state government and the monastery management had requested Gandhi visit the place after 3 pm on January 22.”Thousands of people were there watching the Ram temple consecration ceremony. Can any government or temple committee allow a person to visit the place whose party boycotted the event? If he had visited Batadrava, there would have been a commotion,” Sarma said.”Could he not wait for two hours since he was going to the birthplace of Sankardeva?” the CM asked.He said Gandhi’s intention was to go to the place, enact a drama, and divert the attention of people, but “we did not allow that to happen.”Attacking Gandhi also for not visiting several satras (monasteries), Kamakhya temple, Bhupen Hazarika Samadhi Kshetra, Lachit Borphukan Moidam, and Dhubri Gurdwara, Sarma said the people of Assam would give a befitting reply to the Congress leader in the Lok Sabha elections for such “arrogance.”On the FIR registered against Gandhi for the violence in Guwahati when Congress supporters broke police barricades, the CM said the police would now send notices to the Congress leader and summon him after the Lok Sabha elections.”He is our biggest asset during elections. He is saying he should be summoned now, but if we do that, we will be deprived of our biggest asset in the elections,” Sarma said.
