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.
Discussing his BJP rival in the constituency, Kumar clarified that his fight is political, not personal. He highlighted the incumbent MP's tenure and his intention to question his performance in the constituency.
