Hyderabad: Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar would visit Hyderabad and Vijayawada tomorrow and the day after, a senior CPI leader said in Hyderabad today.

Mr Kumar would speak at the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) tomorrow evening and a meeting on 'Constitutional Rights' at the Sundarayya Vignana Kendram here on March 24, CPI national executive member K Narayana said.

The JNUSU president would speak on the same topic at an event in Vijayawada on March 24 evening, he said.

The events are organised by student groups and AISF, he said.

Mr Kumar shot to national limelight after facing sedition charges.

A group of students today allegedly ransacked the official residence of Hyderabad Central University (HCU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Appa Rao Podile, protesting against his resumption of duty after having been on long leave.

Professor Podile had gone on a long leave at the height of students' agitation seeking justice for Dalit research scholar Rohith Vemula who committed suicide on January 17 at a hostel room in the HCU campus.
