Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar on Saturday demanded that the government stop ‘jumlas’ (idioms) and start “working” as public patience was wearing out.
Addressing a students’ rally in Tilak Nagar here, he said: “the people don’t want false promises or ‘jumlas’ in the name of ‘Stand-Up India,’ ‘Make In India,’ ‘Skill India’ or communal-casteist politics … they 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,” Mr. Kumar said in his speech punctuated with cheers and thunderous applause.
He demanded a complete end to caste, communal-based politics inspired by the RSS, and said the struggle was to save democracy and ensure social justice and empowerment.
