'PM exerted pressure on Assam govt to prevent Rahul Gandhi from visiting shrine,' says Jairam Ramesh

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Monday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi exerted pressure on the Assam government to prevent Rahul Gandhi from visiting the birthplace of Vaishnav saint Srimant Sankardeva to pay his obeisance.

This comes on the same day as the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
