North East Delhi Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress candidate for the North East Delhi Lok Sabha seat, isn't fazed by the BJP's "tukde-tukde" label, often used against him. In an interview with TOI, he shrugged off the label, stating that it doesn't affect him. Describing it as a distraction, Kumar stated that such labels won't deter him. He noted that the «tukde-tukde» tag has lost its impact, even among BJP supporters, since his nomination. He asserted that if he were truly anti-national, he would be in jail. «When they label me that, they target my Poorvanchali background. The Poorvanchalis here will not take these things kindly. I have been acquitted in all cases. A Delhi govt commission found the video accusing me was fake,» the former president of JNU Students' Union added.

BJP's high-profile Smriti Irani and the relatively unknown Kishori Lal Sharma of the Congress locked in a fierce contest heading towards a difficult to predict climax. What should be a conventional ending has turned out to be a nail biter with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's spirited campaign for the Congress scripting possible twists and turns in the absorbing electoral battle. Irani was the quintessential 'outsider', albeit from the BJP powerhouse, in 2019 when she beat former Congress president Rahul Gandhi in the constituency long considered the party's very own. Five years later, Rahul Gandhi has moved to nearby Rae Bareli and Gandhi family aide Sharma is up against the incumbent BJP MP's star power. It should be an easy contest but it isn't. As people discuss the Ram temple, Modi factor, the Priyanka Gandhi connect and everyday struggles, that's the word on the street in this constituency where no Gandhi family member is contesting for the first time in 25 years.
