BJP-RSS can't intimidate me." On 23 January, an FIR was registered against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and others for damaging public property during Nyay Yatra in Assam, said state Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Among the others, whose names have been included in the FIRs, include KC Venugopal and Kanhaiya Kumar.

The Congress on Wednesday termed the police case in Guwahati against its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, as a "political FIR". Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, while addressing a press conference at North Salmara in Assam, thanked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for getting publicity for the party's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' through his acts.
