He also took a swipe at the Congress party, stating that it is embroiled in internal conflicts and that its candidate is not even being accepted by their own party. Tiwari’s nomination procession was attended by BJP leader and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who expressed confidence in Tiwari’s re-election. The Congress party has fielded former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar against Tiwari, who is seeking a second consecutive term in the seat.
