On Sunday, Congress – to challenge BJP for the Lok Sabha elections to be held on all seven Lok Sabha seats of Delhi, declared its candidates. From North East Delhi, Kanhaiya Kumar is the INDIA Bloc candidate.
According to the list, the party has fielded veteran politician J.P. Agarwal from the Chandni Chowk seat and youth leader Mr. Kumar from North East Delhi. Mr Kumar will be pitted against BJP’s Manoj Tiwari, the sole BJP candidate not replaced in the national capital.
For North West Delhi, a reserved seat, the party announced the name of former MP Udit Raj.
About a month ago, Aam Aadmi Party had announced the names of candidates for four seats. Now last night, Congress has also decided its candidates for the remaining three seats.
Congress fields JNU SU Prez from Delhi LS Constituency
Congress has given ticket to former JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar for North East Delhi Lok Sabha seat. He will face BJP’s Manoj Tiwari.
Manoj Tiwari is the only candidate from North East Delhi Lok Sabha seat who has been given ticket for the third time by the party and after a lot of deliberation, Congress has fielded Kanhaiya Kumar from this seat. Both are from Bihar.
After Muslim voters, the maximum number of voters in the East Lok Sabha seat are from Purvanchal. In such a situation, the contest has become interesting.
By pitting Kanhaiya Kumar against Manoj Tiwari, Rahul Gandhi has made the Delhi battle interesting!
Congress has fielded Kanhaiya Kumar against BJP’s Manoj Tiwari in Delhi. If we see, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s choice Manoj Tiwari is now going to face Rahul Gandhi’s favorite leader Kanhaiya Kumar – so is this going to be Modi versus Rahul Gandhi in Delhi?
Manoj Tiwari’s reaction on Congress giving ticket to Kanhaiya Kumar
Manoj Tiwari has said that “Kanhaiya Kumar, who has tukde tukde gang ideology, has come on a 40-day tour. He should definitely take a look at the works worth Rs 1,4600 crore done in our North East Delhi in 10 years under Modi’s leadership. Because he should know how Congress had ignored this area, and he should avoid making wrong statements on the Indian Army.”
Kanhaiya wanted to contest from Begusarai Bihar
Kanhaiya Kumar wanted to contest from Begusarai once again, and Congress also wanted the same. But things did not work out – because Lalu Yadav did not want this to happen at all.
In 2019, RJD leader Tejashwi did not give any seat to CPI in the alliance because of Kanhaiya Kumar, and because of Kanhaiya Kumar’s absence, CPI got the Begusarai Lok Sabha seat this time – and Congress was left helpless, because Pappu Yadav’s case was also similar to Kanhaiya Kumar’s.
Obviously, Congress had to adjust Kanhaiya Kumar somehow or the other. Kanhaiya could not do anything in the earlier assignment. He was sent for the first time by Congress for the two by-elections being held in Bihar.
From the Sadakat Ashram office in Patna, Kanhaiya Kumar spoke his heart out against Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar, but no effect was seen in the by-elections.
Kanhaiya, the ultimate friend of Rahul Gandhi in Nyay Yatra
Kanhaiya Kumar supported Rahul Gandhi wholeheartedly in Bharat Jodo Yatra and then Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Gradually, Kanhaiya Kumar also joined the list of Rahul Gandhi’s most favourite leaders. Congress leaders like Nana Patole and Revanth Reddy are also included in this list of Rahul Gandhi.
Kanhaiya Kumar also meets Rahul Gandhi’s criteria, which gives the title of fearless to Congress leaders.
Actually, Kanhaiya Kumar also remains aggressive like Rahul Gandhi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP and RSS – ‘the only difference is that Kanhaiya Kumar gives better speeches than Rahul Gandhi.’
However, a Lok Sabha seat could not be arranged for Kanhaiya Kumar in Bihar, but Kanhaiya Kumar is also fitting into the equation of the North East Delhi seat – Kanhaiya Kumar is being seen as a future leader in the Congress.
