The incident occurred after some locals of the village waved black flags at him and raised slogans against Kanhaiya Kumar during a roadshow on Sunday. This led to subsequent clashes between his supporters and the locals.
Irked by the handful of locals, Kanhaiya allegedly instructed his supporters to hit everyone who was seen waving the black flags at him. His supporters began to unleash their anger at innocent locals as well. They entered houses of locals and started to pull them out of their respective houses before assaulting them. Kanhaiya Kumar is seen monitoring the entire incident while standing in his car.

A team of police arrived at the spot and the situation was brought under control. No FIR has been lodged in this connection so far, the officer said.
However, this is not the first time the wannabe politician who after being ditched by the ‘mahagathbandhan‘ is contesting 2019 Lok Sabha elections on a CPI (Communist Party of India) ticket from Begusarai, has faced such resentment. Earlier too during a campaign procession, Kanhaiya Kumar was gheraoed by Begusarai locals and questioned about the ‘Bharat tere tukde honge’ slogans that were raised by him and his opposition to reservation for the economically backward sections of the society.
Locals of Begusarai, who were outraged by Kanhaiya Kumar’s stand on various issued stopped his cavalcade and asked him what kind of ‘Azaadi’ he wanted, referring to the ‘Hum cheen ke lenge Azaadi, Bharat tere tukde honge Inshallah’ slogans that were raised in JNU by Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and other students in 2016.
The local who confronted Kanhaiya said that the poor people of this country don’t want any ‘Azaadi’. He also said that while it is good that Kanhaiya wants to become a politician, but he needs to give answers to the people of this country.
Following the conversation, both sides resorted to sloganeering. The locals, in unison, said “Deshdrohi Murdabad”. According to reports, it was only after persuasion that Kanhaiya’s cavalcade was allowed to pass.
Incidentally, in October 2018, an FIR was filed in Patna against Kanhaiya Kumar and his supporters after they misbehaved with AIIMS doctors. From his close aide accusing him of being a ‘liar’ and a ‘casteist’, to when Kanhaiya was accused of flashing his d***k to a woman, Kanhaiya Kumar has been a paragon of disruption and a symbol of everything that is wrong with Indian politics. We had earlier also reported how Kanhaiya Kumar had used a disreputable journal, which is blacklisted internationally, to get his article published for PhD thesis submission.
