Summary:
Guwahati: Congress president Rahul Gandhi , fighting to regain his party’s lost foothold in the northeast, will hit the campaign trail in Assam on April 3 and 4. The Assam unit had then flagged the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill as a priority.“It’s early to say whether he would speak on the bill. Rahul, on his part, has been vocal about his intention to stop the bill if it is ever introduced again. In addresses by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah , the bill did not find mention. NRC update was initiated under Manmohan Singh and Tarun Gogoi and Rahul’s stance against the citizenship bill will bolster his commitment that “no genuine Indian” will be left out of NRC..
