All we want is for water should come into our taps. We do not want water to be sprayed on us but want water under the ‘Nal Jal Yojna’ (drinking water scheme) to work properly so that people get water in their homes. When the Government does not provide water in taps, then it uses water cannons on students and youths,” said Kanhaiya while being apprehended.</p><p>The former JNUSU (Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union) president, Kanhaiya, who embarked on his ‘Palayan roko, naukri do’ (stop migration, give jobs) padyatra at Bhitiharwa Ashram in Champaran on March 16, ended his march today after covering many districts and several hundred kilometres.

Is this not a dynasty?” said Kanhaiya while dwelling at length about the BJP leaders whose fathers or mothers have held important positions in the saffron brigade.</p><p>The Congress is using Kanhaiya Kumar’s oratory to find a foot in Bihar, where it ruled till March 1990 but has been out of power for the last 35 years. Bihar will have an Assembly election in October and November this year, where the Congress and the RJD, backed by Left, will take on the BJP-led NDA.</p>
