He said he was ready to “follow” these leaders and if they were averse to his presence, he was willing to “withdraw”. “I want to inform the people that this agitation is non-political and not being carried under the banner of my party. Last night, the youngsters formed a 51-member forum called 'Yuva Satyagraha Samiti' which will steer this movement of which I am just a part. All are welcome to lend support be it Rahul Gandhi, who has 100 MPs and Tejashwi Yadav who has more than 70 MLAs”, Kishor said.
“These leaders are much bigger than us. They can get five lakh people to gather. The future of the youth is at stake,” Kishor, who is on strike since Thursday, said.
