About 30 workers led by TMC Assam unit chief Ripun Bora, protested outside the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati where dissident Shiv Sena leaders, including Eknath Shinde, are currently camping.
The protestors accused the Assam government, led by Himanta Biswa Sarma, of indulging in “horsetrading”, when the state was in the grip of a devastating flood. The protestors were detained by the Guwahati police soon after as they “did not have permission” to stage a demonstration there.
