“Kanhaiya has been a student leader, there is no need to introduce him. Rahul Gandhi has included him in Congress. We wholeheartedly welcome him,” Jha said.

It depends on the person whether he lives up to the expectations of the party or not. Sidhu’s style of working is different from Kanhaiya Kumar’s style.”

After joining Congress on Monday, Kanhaiya said, “I have joined Congress because I have realized that there are some people who have an ideology to destroy the country… Congress is the most democratic party,” he said. “This country needs Congress. I am not here to save the party… I am here to protect the country,” he added.
