The man of many controversies, Kanhaiya Kumar, is back in the limelight for his move that is supposed to save Congress. Former JNU President of Student’s Union left CPI(M) and made a grand entry on 28th September 2021 with Gujarat’s MLA Jignesh Mevani by his side.
He was welcomed by the party head Rahul Gandhi, Digvijaya Singh, and other Congress leaders. General Secretary of the party, KC Venugopal, appreciated him and said Kumar will fill new energy and enthusiasm in the party.

He is not the only one to criticize his move, several other leaders are also in the league. Member of Bihar Legislative Council, Mangal Pandey, called his move nothing but a political demonstration. It seems many agree with their views while others are hoping Kanhaiya will help Congress in restoring its image.
Hope & pray that the joining of two young leaders #KanhaiyaKumar & #JigneshMewani in the Congress will help restore the “Idea of India”.

Haunting Past Of Kanhaiya Kumar
It’s a fresh start for both Kumar and Congress but it seems his stained past will continue to affect him.
JNU Incident
He was arrested in 2016 over the anti-Indian slogans and speeches in JNU. However, he denied saying any words that would have affected the country’s integrity.
A month later, he was released on conditional bail by the High Court of Delhi. But this did not stop him to raise his voice again RSS who according to him is dividing the country.
