“Just give me one chance and it will make this city a better place. You all have seen me, what I did while serving the SP of Jamshedpur,”Mr. Kumar said during his foot-march at Nirmal Nagar locality.

Mr. Kumar had reached the Parliament by contesting the 2011 Lok Sabha elections from Jamshedpur on a JVM ticket. Later he joined the Congress. However in 2014, he lost as Congress candidate in the Modi wave.
