Delhi is witnessing a battle between two prominent Biharis. The contest in the Northeast Delhi constituency is the most watched in Delhi for its two main contenders. The Congress has fielded former president of JNU Students' Union, Kanhaiya Kumar, who became known for the controversy over raising of anti-national slogans on the JNU campus in 2016. He is challenging a formidable incumbent, BJP's Manoj Tiwari, a famous Bhojpuri singer and actor who is known for his hugely popular song 'Rinkiya ke papa'. Tiwari won from the Northeast Delhi constituency in 2014 as well as 2019. His vote share in 2014 was 45% which grew in 2019 to 54%.
