Former president of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Kanhaiya Kumar said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not the country, Rastriya Swayam Sangh (RSS) is not the Parliament and Manusmriti is not the Constitution - so we do not follow their ideology and will oppose them tooth and nail.
Kumar said this while addressing a seminar organized on Constitution, Social harmony, Education and Employment.
Talking about Modi’s picture in the advertisement of the mobile company Kumar said that it is unfortunate that our Prime Minister is selling SIM now days. He is not concerned about development but seems more concerned about his dress. “Sometimes I get confused that is he (Modi) our Prime Minister or Paridhaan Minister,” he said.
"Our prime minister is more concerned about `jumle baazi." He is not doing serious work because he never wants to do that,” he said adding: I am not personally against Narendra Modi. I am against the ideology that believes in division of country.”
Commenting on Union Minister of Textiles Smriti Irani Kumar said “Do not go by the faces of the leaders. Go by their intensions. If I will say something against her I will be branded as a traitor,” he said.
He said that every community has their representatives like in Weaver community, labour Community or any other, still any notable improvement in the living standards of people belong to these communities has not been seen.
"This is because these so-called leaders think only about their own development. They have never spared a thought about others. They use the community people as vote bank and later ignore them," he said.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) State Women President Asha Misra said that these days politics is based on casteism, nepotism and religion and this is against the theory of development
