Rajen Ram, a lorry driver from Assam, shared his experience, stating: “I was having tea in a stall beside National Highway-31 at Ekarchhala in Panjipara. Suddenly, Rahul Gandhi entered the tea stall, had a cup of tea, asked about my name and profession and inquired about my current challenges. It was a wonderful experience.”
Ali Imran Ramz, a member of the Pradesh Congress Committee, commented: “Our leader previously held the Yatra against the BJP-led central government, aiming to unite the people and Opposition political parties against the communal BJP.
