Apart from 26/11 another major issue that rocked Mumbai last year was the anti-migrant violence. Now one man is hoping to take revenge for his loss. Kundan Singh lost his son Rahul Raj and he is campaigning for the Lalu-Paswan duo shouting slogans against the Shiv Sena.
Rahul Raj was a victim of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's (MNS) hate politics. He was shot to death by cops in a Mumbai bus six months ago. Far away in his homeland, Bihar, his distressed father is campaigning against those he holds responsible for his son's death.
Kundan Singh is on a mission to not let his son's killing fade from people's memory. His prime targets are NCP candidates contesting from various constituencies in Bihar and he tours every such constituency on his own.
"I appeal to the public to give the answer to the bullets that killed Rahul through the ballot. The Bihar politicians who are in alliances with Raj Thackeray and Bal Thackeray have no moral right to appeal for votes in this state," Kundan Singh said in his campaign.
"Don't vote for the Maharashtra candidate. This was Rahul's wish and as his father, I am fulfilling it," Kundan Singh added.
Kundan Singh is also not sparing the BJP-JD(U) combine either because of the Shiv Sena connection. For the Lalu-Paswan combine though, Singh has become the new poster boy.
"No one should vote for these people. They shot Rahul Raj who was from Patna," RJD leader Lalu Prasad was heard saying at a campaign rally.
However, what Kundan Singh seems to be forgetting is the fact that Lalu Prasad and Ram Vilas Paswan paid nothing more than lip service to the North Indian cause after Rahul Raj was gunned down in broad daylight.
