Kanhaiya Kumar is the Congress’ candidate for the North East Delhi Lok Sabha seat, where he will be up against Manoj Tiwary of the BJP.
Kanhaiya was a former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) president. He has been a polarising figure ever since he came into limelight in 2016 with his speech on campus demanding ‘azadi’.
In this interview to The Hindu, he talks about the qualities a student leader should have; why student leaders should criticise their own political parties when they slip up; his battle against Tiwary who also hails from the Purvanchal region, and his vision for North East Delhi.
