Guwahati (PTI): The AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi arrived on a daylong visit to Guwahati on Saturday to meet party workers here.
Upon his arrival at the Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Mr. Gandhi drove to the venue of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) and addressed a gathering of students from across the state.
He then addressed another meeting of party workers at the APCC headquarters Rajiv Bhavan.
The media was, however, not allowed into the venue of the NSUI meeting, while only the electronic media was permitted to cover the Rajiv Bhavan meeting.
An APCC spokesman said the Special Protection Group (SPG) personnel accompanying Rahul did not allow journalists to cover the NSUI meeting, while the print media was left out in the party workers meeting due to "constraint of space in Rajiv Bhavan".
Mr. Gandhi was also scheduled to attend a Youth Congress meeting later in the day at the Sarusajai National Games Stadium venue, the sources added.
