Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar taunted PM Modi and said he came to Bihar during the pandemic.

Patna, May 13, 2024: Congress leader and North East Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Kanhaiya Kumar on Monday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow in Patna, questioning what benefit Bihar had gained from it.

Kanhaiya Kumar targeted PM Modi:

He is coming to Bihar only because of the election. What benefit did Bihar get from his roadshow? Did Bihar get special status or did Rs 15 lakh come into every citizen’s account? This roadshow has no meaning,” Kanhaiya Kumar said after casting his vote in his native village, Bihat Maksadpur in Begusarai district.

Kanhaiya, who appeared emotional while voting, exercised his franchise at polling booth number 228. “If you believe in democracy, then voting is your first responsibility. I feel happy to return home on this occasion, even if only to cast my vote,” he said.

Recalling his roots, he added, “This place holds emotional and political value for me. I spent my childhood here, studied in this school, and have many memories connected with this place.”

Kanhaiya Kumar contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election:

Kanhaiya Kumar had earlier contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Begusarai on a CPI ticket but lost to BJP’s Giriraj Singh. He joined the Congress in 2021 under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. Although there was speculation that he might again contest from Begusarai, the seat went to CPI after the INDIA bloc’s seat-sharing arrangement.

Now, Kanhaiya Kumar is contesting from northeast Delhi where he faces BJP’s sitting MP Manoj Tiwari.
