Will Kanhaiya Kumar survive aftermath of DUSU poll rout?

Kanhaiya Kumar, the AICC in-charge of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), reportedly faces intense heat from the Congress high command following the party's rout in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections. Sources indicate that General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, acting on the direct instructions from Rahul Gandhi, sought replies from Kumar after the student wing failed to secure a single post. Adding salt to the wound, an NSUI rebel candidate clinched the Vice President seat contesting as an independent, underscoring severe factionalism and ticket-distribution missteps under Kumar’s watch. With internal discontent brewing, questions loom over whether the leadership will reconsider his role heading the student outfit.
