Lok Sabha Election: A close contest is expected between Manoj Tiwari and Kanhaiya Kumar on the North-East seat of Delhi. However, Kanhaiya Kumar is getting challenged here more from his own people than from Manoj Tiwari. Many Congress leaders have started openly opposing the candidature of Kanhaiya Kumar. Let us tell you that after the announcement of Kanhaiya Kumar’s candidature, a rift has started within the Congress. On Monday too, there was protest against the candidature of this ‘trump ace’ of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in the State Congress office of Delhi. However, on Monday, Congress candidate from North-West seat, Udir Raj, faced more opposition than Kanhaiya Kumar.
Let us tell you that the North-East seat has the highest number of Purvanchali voters. Purvanchali voters have been playing a decisive role here. This is the reason why Manoj Tiwari and Kanhaiya Kumar have intensified their counter-attack on each other. In the party meeting on Monday, Congress worker Kanhaiya Kumar and the party’s North-West candidate Udit Raj were once again openly opposed. Congress workers were opposing the candidature of Udit Raj.
There is an alliance between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party to contest elections on seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi.
Senior journalist Sanjeev Pandey, who knows Delhi politics closely, says, ‘See, it is because of Rahul Gandhi that Kanhaiya Kumar and Udit Raj have got the candidature. Rahul Gandhi is making every possible effort to activate Congress on the political front, but the internal factionalism of the party is causing a lot of damage. There is no doubt that Congress workers are opposing Udit Raj and Kanhaiya Kumar. The special thing is that this is being done only at the behest of big leaders of Congress. But, let me tell you that Congress has conducted a kind of experiment in Delhi, if this experiment is successful then Kanhaiya Kumar can be the future for Congress in Delhi politics. Therefore, Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal will be more worrying than BJP.
Clash between two Purvanchalis in Delhi
It is noteworthy that there is an alliance between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party to contest elections on seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi. Of these, Congress is contesting on four seats and INC on three seats. On Monday, three Lok Sabha candidates Kanhaiya Kumar, Udit Raj and Jai Prakash Aggarwal were meeting the media at the party office of Delhi Congress. At that time, outside the press conference, Udit Raj’s candidature was being opposed by the workers. During this time the workers were raising slogans that ‘outsider candidate will not work’
There are a large number of Purvanchali voters in the North-Eastern Lok Sabha seat of Delhi and both the candidates are from Bihar.

Speaking to the media on this occasion, Kanhaiya Kumar said, ‘Today inflation has taken away the lives of the people. Unemployment is breaking historical records. As the gap between rich and poor is increasing day by day, per capita GDP share is decreasing and people’s power to buy everyday items is weakening. In 70 years, this government has increased the debt of Rs 55 lakh crore to Rs 150 lakh crore. In such a situation, we will work for a positive agenda on all seven seats of Delhi and will give Rs 1 lakh annually to educated youth and women. MNREGA will be implemented in cities also so that the youth get employment opportunities.
