Your article is not fair to Kanhaiya. Don’t forget Kanhaiya was elected JNUSU president despite his AISF not being strong enough. However, in Begusarai he has backing of strong cadre base who are re-energised under him and are leaving no lapses. His road shows are eye opener in which people from all the social strata participate in thousands and their enthusiasm is palpable. Rattled by his ability to garner support from all the strata and his ability to tear apart all caste and religious calculations, BJP and RJD have engaged themselves in digging his caste and spreading rumours that he has neither support of Bhumihar nor MY combo. Any survey videos will show you that a good proportion of Bhumihar and a significant section of muslims are in his favour. Not only this, in some areas even Yadav youth are in favour of Kanhaiya although they want to see Tejaswi as CM of Bihar. People of Begusarai are politically aware and progressive and mostly vote politically and that’s why despite being Bhumihar dominated Begusarai has been a left bastion. Kanhaiya is seen as hope for people, who feel, that if he becomes parliamentarian, he will raise their issues. Media should be fair to him. Only a foolish will come out with any prognosis but there is no gainsaying that Kanhaiya has emerged a strong contender and opponents are having sleepless nights.
