Kanhaiya Kumar to fight Lok Sabha polls from Begusarai

Vartha Bharati | 02-09-2018 | 16:39:00 IST

PATNA: JNUSU’s former president Kanhaiya Kumar will contest the Lok Sabha election in 2019 from Bihar’s Begusarai constituency as the nominee of grand alliance comprising the RJD, Congress, NCP, Jitan Ram Manjhi-led HAM (S), Loktantrik Janata Dal of Sharad Yadav and all Left parties.

Sources said RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, who virtually heads the grand alliance in Bihar, and the Congress leadership have agreed to leave the Begusarai seat for Kanhaiya.

Though Kanhaiya will contest the election on the CPI symbol, all grand alliance partners will support him, a source close to Lalu’s family told TOI on Saturday.

Kanhaiya is a native of Bihat panchayat under the Barauni block of Begusarai district. His mother Meena Devi is an anganwadi sewika in Begusarai, while his father Jayashankar Singh is a small farmer.

Begusarai is currently represented in the Lok Sabha by BJP’s Bhola Singh. The saffron party won the seat for the first time in 2014, defeating RJD’s Tanveer Hassan by 58,000 votes. Bhola bagged 4,28,227 votes as against Tanveer’s 3,69,892 votes. CPI’s Rajendra Prasad Singh finished third with 1,92,639 votes.

As per the ‘sitting-second’ formula, Begusarai seat should have gone to the RJD in seat-sharing arrangement among the grand alliance partners. “But, Lalu wants Kanhaiya to contest from Begusarai,” an RJD functionary said, preferring anonymity.

CPI’s state secretary Satya Narayan Singh told TOI over the phone that Kanhaiya had given his consent to the party to join the 2019 electoral fray. “Lalu during an informal talk with us offered Begusarai seat for Kanhaiya,” the CPI functionary said.

Aamir Khan has never endorsed any political party in his 35-year career and the viral video of the Bollywood superstar is "fake" and alarming, his spokesperson said on Tuesday.

According to Khan's spokesperson, the actor has reported the matter to authorities and filed an FIR with the Cyber Crime Cell of the Mumbai Police.

In the purported 27-second clip, which seems to have been edited using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, Khan can be seen talking about staying away from rhetoric.  

The spokesperson for the actor said while the actor has raised electoral awareness through Election Commission campaigns through the years, he has never promoted any political party.

"We want to clarify that Mr Aamir Khan has never endorsed any political party throughout his 35-year career. He has dedicated his efforts to raising awareness through Election Commission public awareness campaigns for many past elections.

"We are alarmed by the recent viral video alleging that Aamir Khan is promoting a particular political party. He would like to clarify that this is a fake video and totally untrue. He has reported the matter to various authorities related to this issue, including filing an FIR with the Cyber Crime Cell of the Mumbai Police," Khan's spokesperson said in a statement.

The "Laal Singh Chaddha" actor also urged all citizens to come out and vote and be an active part of the electoral process, his spokesperson added. 

The next Lok Sabha elections will be conducted in seven phases, starting from April 19 and ending on June 1. The results will be announced on June 4.
