“The ‘Congressor 5 Guarantee Yatra’ will be powerfully programmed, under the tagline of ‘Ahi Ase Congress Guaranteer Soite’ (Congress is coming, with Guarantee) which will amplify the slogan of, ‘Congressor ai 5 Guarantee: Kio aru Kenekoi, Ahok Kotha Patu’ (Congress is Coming With 5 Guarantee: Why and how? Let’s talk).” a press release issued by the Congress read.

The Yatra is meant to display the affinity of the Congress towards the people of Assam and it is a countdown towards the formation of a new government, stated the press release from the Congress.
