I am a student, basic job is to study and write books: Kanhaiya Kumar

New Delhi, Apr 30: JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar, who arrived in Patna on Saturday said that studying and teaching was a part of his life.

Speaking to a news channel, Kumar, who is all set to come out with a book, said: "My basic job is to study and write books." On being asked about his recent tryst with fame, Kumar said that he was a student.

"I don' think this has anything to do with me creating a celebrity image for myself. This is not the first time am travelling to another university," he said.

I have visited universities in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Patna and other places to address student's issues, he added.

Responding to why he travels via air, Kumar said: "Coming to air travel, the organisers pay for my travel. Students usually contribute in masses to organise such functions. I can't travel by train due to fringe elements. Therefore, organisers have no way other than book air tickets for me."

Kanhaiya's book "Bihar to Tihar" will be published by Juggernaut publication in both English and Hindi.
