While addressing poll rallies in the city, Kumar lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for trying to undermine the constitutional values and the spirit of democracy in the country.

He said, “The only expertise the BJP has is to divide the people of the country on various grounds and divert the attention of the people from real issues.”

He said the poor, already society’s most vulnerable section, were being harmed further by the pro-rich policies of the NDA government. “The high rate of inflation in the country is a direct consequence of the policies of the BJP. Today the inflation is rising at more than 14%. Such high inflation was not seen by the country in the last 30 years,” he said.

While campaigning on the Panjab University (PU) campus for party candidate Sachin Galav, Kumar appealed to residents and stakeholders of the university to support the young candidates of the party.
