Morigaon, March 30 -- Amid the run-up to the Assam Assembly Elections 2026, BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Monday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi disrespected Assam's traditional symbol 'Gamosa', and said the people of the state would respond to such actions in the upcoming assembly elections by keeping the Congress out of power.

Addressing a gathering in Morigaon, Nabin said that times have changed and people in Assam now hold accountable those who "play with symbols of honour."

"Now the times have changed. Now, the people of Assam punish those who play with the symbols of its honour," he said.

Referring to an incident on Republic Day, he alleged that Rahul Gandhi removed the 'Gamosa' after it was presented to him.
