JNU Student Leader Kanhaiya Kumar Raises Rs 25 Lakh By Crowdfunding

Patna: The crowdfunding campaign of former JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, contesting as the CPI candidate from the Begusarai Lok Sabha seat in Bihar, appears to have become a hit. In just two days, Kanhaiya Kumar has raised over Rs 25 lakh, CPI leader Satyanarayan Singh said on Thursday. Kanhaiya Kumar launched a crowdfunding campaign in partnership with OurDemocracy, a platform to collect money to contest the elections. The target is to raise Rs 70 lakh, for his election campaign, the permissible limit of expenditure in parliamentary elections. “I need your support. No amount is big or small. Contribute what you can. If you believe in democracy, I am seeking your support,” Kanhaiya Kumar’s appeal read. (IANS)
