He will join the Yagna of Maha Mrityunjay Temple at Puranigudam, and will then visit Karbi Anglong, where he will address another public meeting at Dengaon and meet the surrendered militants.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Shah posted the following tweet, "Leaving for Assam. Looking forward to addressing two public rallies in the beautiful state."
