Manoj Tiwari: The BJP's sitting MP has held the North East Delhi seat since 2014, securing a significant victory against Congress veteran Sheila Dixit in 2019 with a margin of 3.6 lakh votes. Kanhaiya Kumar: The former president of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) and a prominent figure originally from Bihar, Kanhaiya Kumar previously contested the Begusarai seat in Bihar on a Communist Party of India ticket before switching to Congress.
Both leaders, hailing from Bihar, appeal to the sizable Purvanchali population in the constituency. Tiwari's consistent victories since 2014 demonstrate his stronghold, while Kumar's reputation as a fiery orator and youth icon brings a fresh challenge.
