As the countdown to the Lok Sabha elections begins, all seven Delhi Lok Sabha seats are slated to go to polls on May 25th. In the midst of this electoral buzz, Congress candidate Kanhaiya Kumar has emerged as a prominent contender, bringing with him a fervent commitment to social justice and environmental sustainability.
Ahead of officially filing his nomination for the North East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, Kanhaiya Kumar, a former student leader turned politician, released a video message. In the video, he reiterated his pledge to combat injustice and issued a heartfelt appeal for refraining from setting off fireworks, urging citizens to prioritize environmental conservation.
In a significant move on Monday, Kanhaiya Kumar formally submitted his nomination papers from the North East Delhi seat. Prior to this pivotal moment in his electoral journey, he participated in a hawan ceremony and engaged in Sarvdharm prayers, symbolizing his inclusive approach to spirituality and governance.
Kanhaiya Kumar’s candidacy sets the stage for an intriguing electoral battle, as he prepares to contest against BJP’s incumbent two-time MP and Bhojpuri singer-turned-politician, Manoj Tiwari, for the North East Delhi seat.
