'Rahul Gandhi's Yatra gave a big boost to BJP in Assam': CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

He further took a jibe at the grand old party saying that it was assumed that the Congress leaders were not invited to the mega event but when Rahul Gandhi was taking out his Yatra in Assam during the ceremony, it became clear that he was boycotting the pran pratishtha ceremony.
