On the other hand, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee will do her part of election campaigning in the Northeast on Friday at the minority dominated Dhubri district.

Although Trinamool does not have any base in Assam, it is contesting nine of state’s 14 Lok Sabha seats; the backdrop of the party’s protest being the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Bill.

It is to be noted that last year, an eight-member Trinamool Congress team were barred at Silchar’s Kumbhirgram airport in Assam.
