Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union president Kanhaiya Kumar yesterday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and demanded that the government stop ‘jumlas’ (idioms) and start “working” as public patience was wearing out.
Addressing a students’ rally in Tilak Nagar, Mumbai, Kumar said people don’t want false promises or ‘jumlas’ in the name of Stand-Up India, Make In India or Skill India, but need education, jobs and development.
“Ours is politics of social justice, helping the masses of the country. The students and workers of the country are getting united. That’s why the Modi government is so scared,” Kumar said in his speech.
He was greeted with cheers and thunderous applause.
Kumar demanded a complete end to caste-communal based politics inspired by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and said the struggle was to save democracy and ensure social justice and empowerment.
“For how long will the masses continue to suffer?... The sun will rise,” he said.
Kumar arrived in Mumbai for an educational conclave organised by the Left, students and youth organisations. He will attend a similar event in Pune today.
