The police have detained two men for protesting during Kumars speech, ANI reported.

Kumar, who hails from Begusarai district of Bihar , is on a two-day tour of his home state and met both Nitish Kumar and RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav over the weekend.

Upon his arrival in Patna on Saturday, Kanhaiya told reporters: I am not here to attend a political meeting. I am here to reach out to people with my thoughts. People of Bihar will understand what I want and where I stand.
